Rev. Benjamin Thomas - Holy Week at Home

Dear Friends,

For the first several centuries, the church typically gathered in the homes of the faithful. I am encouraging the people of Christ Church Cathedral to reclaim this custom for Holy Week this year. To make this possible, Fr. Aaron Zook and I have designed liturgies to be done in the context of a household for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil.

Although the liturgies are accessible to all ages, I would especially encourage families with children to take advantage of this unusual Holy Week as a time to worship together using these forms, all of which have a tactile, meditative component that will connect with any who are willing to become like a little child to enter the kingdom of God.

Blessings,

Benjamin+
