Walking with Jesus in His Passion
Yesterday afternoon, 12 people gathered for a walk through the Biblical account of the Passion of Jesus Christ. In the center of the room were objects significant to the week. Each person had 1 or 2 scriptures to read and then they found the object and passed it around the room. There were 15 total...including; a sword, wine/bread, water basin, perfume, palm branch, crown of thorns, a rubber rooster, a cross, and many other objects that were significant to the last week of Jesus' life. It was a powerful time where we talked about how gruesome the sufferings of Christ were. We also talked about Jesus as our servant and how instead of being a military conquerer, Jesus came in as a servant to pay for our sins and love us in a way no human being is capable of doing. When we were finished, we prayed together and enjoyed a delicious soup supper. Becca, the leader of the ministry, played a significant role in the teaching time. We are looking ahead to Global Impact in a few weeks where we can all serve others and the Lord together.
Narnia has ended
St. Alban's had a great end to the 6-week Journey to Narnia series. The group engaged in a Narnia Party. They came in costume, dressed as characters from the movie. We had a couple Lucys, and Edmund, St. Nicholas, Susan, and several warriors and generals. We watched the end of the movie and talked about how God is changing us just like the children in the movie were changed. The evening ended with a battle and there were only minor injuries to speak of. The children are looking forward to next year's lent series. They are already talking about themes! Stay tuned!!!

Prayer Chapel
This year I've started to like setting up prayer chapels to have a quiet, reflective place to hang out with God. The re:mix prayer chapel was a great experience this year. Abram Kielsmeier-Jones and I worked on prayer stations. At re:mix Dave, Evan, and I set up the chapel and Jack Gabig helped coordinate spiritual direction. It was an important, but relaxing responsibility. The people who participated were blessed, as were those who coordinated it. I'm looking forward to setting up future prayer chapels.
