Planning Easter

Pastor and I meet from time to time to touch base and look ahead at the Scripture, music and worship for upcoming seasons. Easter is quite late this year, but I have a chemo treatment followed by my music recital, and I wanted to make sure I was fully functional and able to think clearly, so I asked to meet earlier than normal to look at what we might want to do for Easter. I am fortunate to work with a flexible and understanding pastor!

We spent some time catching up with each other. Our paths take us in such divergent directions! When at last we looked at the dates following my recital (Ash Wednesday is the first Wednesday after my recital), we didn't have much time for nitty-gritty level titles included planning, only a broad overview and game plan.

Unfortunately, I know I will not look at our planning ideas until after my recital, and time will be at a premium. I head for the car and onward to the library with a sigh and a prayer. Lord, let your Spirit speak to me throughout these next weeks about Easter and worship. Let me hear clearly the direction you wish your congregation here to go. Only You know what lies ahead for us, and I am fully engaged with upcoming immediate events. I ask your grace to plan the best most in sync worship possible. Amen.
