Hello all - it's been a while!
So... I was lucky to be asked to do a short reflection this Good Friday on one of the Lord's 'last words'. I was assigned Luke 23:32-25, the troublesome "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" reading.
I've posted my reflection-in-progress in my Blogs (http://www.wondercafe.ca/blogs/faerenach/good-friday-reflection) and would love some feedback.
Thanks so much, folks! It's good to be back.
Hello all - it's been a while! I've still been active in my church, albeit in a more limited way. But I am still passionate about worship, and I was lucky to be asked to do a short reflection this Good Friday on one of the Lord's 'last words'. I was assigned Luke 23:32-25. Here's what I've come up with - I would love some feedback!

How do you approach Good Friday this year?
Do you enter it after study throughout the time of Lent?
Do you enter it seeing the story alive in today's world, or is it something far removed from where you are
Do you have a special ritual on Good Friday, something, possibly through your church or community, which has meaning to you, but isn't part of the traditional service.
How do you enter this Holy weekend?
Our little family hadn’t yet finished eating dinner last Saturday when Earth Hour arrived, so we turned off the electric lights. As candlelight softened faces, the conversation hardened. It was difficult and painful to contemplate some of the questions raised by the week’s headlines. Weakening ecological health. Deepening distrust in the church. Tensions between those for whom the church embodies a community of hope and those for whom it represents the weight of oppression.
Hi All,
Want to see what youth can do for worship with some youth has-beens adding a little guidance?
If you are in London Conference you can check out The Swell:
Friday, April 14, 2006, 7:00 p.m. at Wesley-Knox United Church London, Ontario
They have a semi-functioning web-page at:

Their theme for the service is Rubric's Cube. Perhaps GUC will stuff his head into this thread and give us the skinny.
