Dear  Presbytery Leaders & Pastors,

We are inviting all of you to help us make holy week special, HOLY, and meaningful for our congregations.  We are inviting you to create a short devotional video (can be a meditation on a Bible verse, music, worship, prayer, use your imagination!) that goes with any of the lectionary scriptures for one of the days of holy week (Monday, April 6th through Saturday, April 10th).

We are looking for pastor volunteers (thank you Sarah Cairatti for already volunteering to organize Monday) to receive (probably via shared links) your videos and organize them to be posted each day.  The Presbytery office is going to help post the videos on their website and on Facebook so all of our congregations can have access and participate in daily communion with God and one another during the week.

Perhaps you can convince your faith community to engage in this way and take some pressure off of yourself for Holy week, as well as invite them to get to know and worship with some other wonderful area clergy (and remind them what the Presbytery is all about!).

* If you are willing to volunteer to receive and organize videos, please e-mail Julie Raffety (julie@franklinpresbyterianchurchnj.com) and she will assign you a day.

* Please consider working on a short video to contribute.  You can e-mail all videos (links) to Julie Raffety.

Thank you for making Holy Week sacred, special, and engaging in 2020 for the congregations of Newton Presbytery.  You can also e-mail Julie with any questions you might have.  Looking forward to connecting with God together during Holy Week!
