As we approach the end of our 40-day Lenten journey of prayer, repentance and fasting, here are four ways to continue walking with your C4SO family into Holy Week and Easter.

Esau McCaulley Headshot1. Listen to Our Lent Podcast Series.

C4SO Podcast co-hosts Mickey Lowe and Bishop Todd bring you a six-part Lenten podcast series with guests like the Rev. Dr. Esau McCaulley and the Rev. Dr. Markene Meyer. Our final episode with the Rev. Ashley Mathews focuses on making the transition from Lent to Holy Week in a local parish.

 

2. Experience Holy Week With Bishop Todd.

Bishop Todd will provide short video meditations for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter, all set against a beautiful blend of imagery, typography and music curated by our Art Director Bliss Lemmon and Media Architect Dr. Min Soo Choi. We will email these video meditations to our newsletter subscribers and post them to our social media (@DioceseofC4SO). Feel free to share them with your church, small group or social media channels.

3. Ponder Our Online Stations of the Cross.

Two years ago we featured the artwork of Laura James. It was so well-received that we licensed her paintings once again to help us contemplate the Passion of Christ through each stage of his path to the cross, accompanied by liturgy written by our Scholar in Residence: Arts, Media, Culture, the Rev. Dr. W. David O. Taylor. We invite you to personally spend time in this contemplative virtual space or share it with your congregations.

 

4. Show Us How You Celebrate Holy Week and Easter.

From foot-washing on Maundy Thursday to stripping the altar on Good Friday to flowering the cross on Resurrection Sunday, post your pics on social media with the hashtag #C4SOHolyWeek or #C4SOEaster. Tag us so we can re-share your story!
