The Bible Meme

I think Dave tagged me with this one.  I’ll have to get to it after Holy Week…

I’m feeling pretty gosh darn overwhelmed at the moment.  Being a chanter, and a church secretary, and a Sunday School teacher and one of the parish coffee hour cooks is kind of crazy this time of year!

To the parents, I created a Holy Week guide for little ones.  My husband "painted" it for me.  If you’d like a copy, I’ll be glad to email it to you.  I don’t want to post in on the site because I threw it together very quickly and didn’t really credit any sources.  But I plan to improve upon the thing for next year (and credit my sources) so if you take a look at it, let me know how it can be better.  I had so much fun creating that I want to work on a similar book for Lent, again geared towards kids.  Another project I won’t start until after Holy Week.

God be with you all as we finish our Lenten struggle and finish those last few strides to PASCHA!!!!

I have that tag sitting in my "to do" pile as well. It sounds like you've been very busy! I'd love to get that email.

I can't believe I didn't know you were a chanter: I must've skipped any comments you made about it!

Prayers you get through it all: a wonderful example you are to us of serving the needs of the Church. God bless.

Thank you Laura!

Very well done... I found it useful for teaching me about Holy Week, I look forward to using it with my kids during Holy Week.

Nice artwork with it too, I liked the picture of the bay leaves dropping.

May I please have a copy?!
Thank you so much, I can't wait.

What does a coffee hour cook do?(besides cook of course) I'm curious as how you all do coffee hour. I guess I could call myself a coffee hour cook too, but only about every 6-7 weeks or so as we all rotate in and there are 4-5 families each week on duty.

Thank you!

Thanks Herman! That pic is actually from the Goarch website. Shh...don't tell!

Hi Susan...we rotate also. But my rotation is up this weekend...the same weekend I have to chant...and make a b'day cake for Mike...and make sure two bulletins are ready for the liturgies, etc, etc!

We have three people on duty each weekend to feed anywhere from 100 to 150 people.

Oh and Ian...I am learning to be a chanter. They let me up at the stand sometimes because they are desperate!

I'd love to receive a copy of your guide for my daughter (3.5 yo). I think that my husband and I could also benefit, since this will be our first Holy Week as Orthodox Chrisitans.

Thank you!

Laura, I didn't seem to get one, could you resend? I'm so sorry.

Thanks Herman!

Though Holy Week is now over, and we've moved into Bright Week, I too would like a copy.

Thanks,
