I admire the Mars Hill spirit, but sometimes it's nice to just let the Holy Spirit play a movie in people's hearts. He's way better at it than we could ever be. Amen, Kevin.

Oh, nothing much, just a introspective Holy Eucharist at noon and five thirty, where we will ingest a small wafer and sip red wine in rememberence of the Passion of the Christ...Jesus, I mean, not the movie. More power to Mars Hill for having a vision and producing it with excellence, the church needs more of that attitude, but after a while, when we try to one up each other with who can reeeally depict the crucifixion with more realism, it gets to be more caricature than character. Give me a quiet sanctuary with a black cloth draped over the cross, people coming and going with their heads bowed because they realize how much they suck and how magnificant this Jesus is. I get that, and I then, and only then, begin to anticipate the glory that will fill that sacntuary in another forty eight hours. Never during the church year does the phrase, "It's friday, but Sunday's coming" mean more. “What Good Friday plans does your church have this year?”
