Good Friday ... affirming life in the face of death ...

Today as a community of faith, we gathered in the South Chapel of Minnedosa Funeral Services to commemerate the events of Good Friday.

Perry helped us set up, and Rick stayed to help a we remembered the events from the streets of Jerusalem that helped to direct and define our faith as a Resurrection people ...

The music was beautiful (thanks to Eleanor, the Choir and the four who shared a powerful quartet piece), the words were intense (thanks to the folks at Iona Community and Wild Goose Publications for that), and the service was meaningful ...

Next year we WILL be in our own home ... but this year, our second as a pilgrim people, we, like Jesus and his disciples, relied on things borrowed to share the journey of Holy Week ... It helps to remind us of what this Season of the Church calendar means ...
