Holy Saturday: A Guided Meditation
We invite you to find a quiet space, and allow this 15 minute reflection to guide your experience of Jesus in the tomb on Holy Saturday.
Good Friday: Learning to Lament
Jesus knows lament well. As we engage Good Friday, we’ll hear him cry out the language of lament that he had prayed often enough that it now spontaneously poured out of him: “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” Using this video, we'll provide a structure for you to write your own lament.
Good Friday, 2020: The Garden of Loss
On Friday, we'll create space to experientially place ourselves in the midst of Jesus' final hours, where lament and loss are palpable. How is the lifted up Savior drawing all to himself? And how can the most ugly act in history become a beauty that will save the world?
Maundy Thursday: Peace I Give You Meditation
A meditation from the Upper Room, as Jesus offers his followers Peace in the midst of tumultuous times.
Maundy Thursday, 2020: The Garden of Grief
Through music, meditative prayer, and Scriptural reflection, we'll listen in on Jesus' final words to his followers in the Upper Room. With the disciples, we'll breathe in Christ's Spirit of peace for difficult days. Finally, we'll travel to Gethsemane, kneeling in the garden of our own grief as we learn to say "thy will be done."
Gardens: A Journey Through Holy Week 2020
Join us on a journey through Jesus' last week leading to the cross. Against the backdrop of gardens, we'll create meditative and experiential spaces to experience Holy Week on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday.
Palm Sunday, 2020 (Gardens: A Journey Through Holy Week)
Worship, prayer, and liturgy from The Parish for Palm Sunday, April 5, 2020.
The Upper Room Anchor
One way to experience Easter Week is to see it as a microcosm of the full sweep of human life. In one short week Jesus soars on the heights of triumph and acclaim. Days later, alone in a moonlit garden, he is weeping from the bitter blow of betrayal. If we're honest, such is the nature of life.
Imaginative Reading: Jesus & Lazarus (from John 11)
Join Keely and David Darnell for this imaginative reflection on John 11. This spacious reflection leads us through the story of the death, healing, and resurrection of Lazarus, and the grief and loss carried by those who loved him.
