Oils

I love this time of year! And this year more than most, because the large spring snow storms we’ve had are going to contrast beautifully with the warm sunny weather predicted for Sunday. It’s as if nature is cooperating with the rhythms of the liturgical year.

Last night our liturgy team dwpid a wonderful version of the Holy Thursday service, with the innovative touch of inviting back a Katie (a graduate of St. Kate’s) to talk about her experiences as a Muslim woman setting up a local health clinic in a village in Uganda. She dwpid that during the washing of feet, which gave us something to be caught up with as the endless lines of people ministered to each other, and something to give to in the shared procession bearing our gifts.

The oils were blessed, too, held by liturgical dancers — and one of our youngest members, who is only five, joined the dance!
