This is a holy week for Christians and Jews. We participated in the Feinland family Seder meal via Zoom on Wednesday eve, the Guilford Church's Maundy Thursday service via BCTV Live Stream on Thursday eve and the Brattleboro Ecumenical Good Friday service today, noon to three. In the service today, seven different pastors, all speaking from their homes, gave meditations on the Seven Last Words of Jesus from the cross, and musicians played and sang from their homes. All these services were particularly moving. I am deeply impressed by how faith communities, especially, are adapting to this health crisis. Some amazing skill in technology and creativity is going on and keeping us involved. Sunday morning there will be a Sunrise Service at 6:30a.m. and a regular Easter Service at 10a.m. I'll be a reader at 6:30a.m., via Zoom. The "attendance" at these services has been high - everyone at home, yet feeling connected. You can watch some of them if you wish by going to the "Guilford Community Church" website and clicking on the links for those services. (I don't think the Feinland Seder is publicly available).
