Busy times

This is an important week as we start to think through the journey that Christ made. It is a time to reflect on His journey and our own. This week our church has 3 services, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. This is not meant to be a comment on other people, just an observation. I have been surprised by the amount of minister and vicar friends who have 8 or 10 services in the next week. Its great to have variety, but there also needs time to rest and reflect. I fear that sometimes as church we pile expectations onto people to turn up to things and it always seems to be the same people that turn up. I want to try and encourage families to spend time together and church to be part of that, not the thing that causes the arguments and takes family time away. For those friends who have many services I am sure that they are in a situation that this is right, however, for the situation I am in I want to encourage you not to have to rush out to loads of different services this Easter, but experience Easter, the joys and the pain and then take time to reflect on how it fits and applies to your life.
