Holy Week Services - Church Plant, ABQ, NM

Praying your Holy Week in the time of coronovirus is going well and you are full of the peace which surpasses understanding. We had been meeting for Evening Prayer with Communion until the stay-at-home order came but have tried to at least have Evening Prayer liturgies available. If you want a copy of any of the past prayers, let us know!

We have decided to do two virtual services this week:
Good Friday at 6 pm 
Easter Vigil - Saturday evening at 7:30 pm

The Zoom link for both services is: https://zoom.us/j/9030345803 [Meeting ID: 903 034 5803]  

We suggest having the following on hand: a cross for Good Friday candles for each person & bells/keys/noisemakers for Easter Vigil

The Kenyan liturgy includes the following:
All of our problems
We send to the cross of Christ
All of life's difficulties
We send to the cross of Christ
All the devil's works
We send to the cross of Christ
All of our hopes for wholeness
We set on the risen Christ

From meditating on that, we came up with an idea for participating together during this Holy weekend. Some time before Good Friday service, please email or text us a word or phrase that represents those things that are on your heart to "send to the cross of Christ" (there are no limits, no right or wrong answers, nothing too big or too small). We will write these down on slips of paper and place them before the cross during the Good Friday service, they will be buried with Christ, and then cast into his light at Easter Vigil.  If you can only make one service or neither, please feel free to send us words or phrases anyway.
