So, finally I'm back. Its been a couple of crazy months--I got ordained, Lent, and then finally Easter! There is sooooo much that I am going to be catching up on today.... Anyway, we've been busy. Our little bible study continues to meet, I think to grow, and to evolve. We had our first sort of worship experience. A couple of the guys and I put together an Imovie of the stations of the cross. Thanks to Jim Best for sending me these amazing photos of the stations! What we did is basically put together an elaborate slide show of pictures depicting the stations (traditional stations of Jesus and his mother, Simon and so on) and positioned them along side more contemporary photos (provided by the MaryKnoll Brothers and my digital camera). We laid over tracks from the movie "The Hours" and made a kind of meditation using a sound system and a projector. Really basic and we had a small gathering for it. I wasn't even sure we'd be able to do this so I didn't even start putting things up until the week we did this (Holy Week).
Since I only know how to upload this to youtube, and since you can only upload so much at a time on youtube, here is the first half of our stations:
The quality is not so fab. here and it did come out much better in real life. But this will give you an idea of what we did. I'll also upload the other half of the meditation as soon as I create it. I think this went well for us, and we had a wonderful bible study last night with great conversation, looking ahead and enthusiasm. I hope we can maintain this energy! We are looking ahead to going to and having our own Taize service as well as getting together for a Passover meal next month. So, the Saginaw groups is, at this moment, going well.
Now, Midland: who wants to try stuff like this here?
