Why the liturgy of Ash Wednesday matters:

Liturgy "is a vast & dramatic 'story-ing,' making sure that we are taking our place in the story. Without sufficient liturgical support & structure we are very apt to edit the story down to fit our individual tastes and predispositions.”

Doing this all over again. Best ideas! GO!

Church people, I'm looking for your best ideas:

What has been the most successful way your church has engaged w/ your neighborhood?

Our parish is in a neighborhood and we want to be good neighbors. Blessing of the animals and House Blessings on Epiphany have been great for us

[Fleming Rutledge @flemingrut]

Nothing--I think I mean that literally--compares with Holy Week to ground the Christian. Faithful attendance each day at some sort of gathering, however simple, however poorly attended, will make it work. Each day, with its appointed readings, is a dose of unfiltered gospel.

[Porter C. Taylor @PorterCTaylor]

@flemingrut SO. GOOD.

“It is necessary in order that God’s promises of a Redeemer may be fulfilled,—the types of the Old Testament sacrifices be accomplished,—the law of God be satisfied,—and a way for God’s mercy be provided.” - J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on John, 152.
