Lay down your cloak
Quick plug for my latest project at work. At Lifewords we’ve been working on our latest Easter resource, and this year it’s an eight part online journey through Holy Week, with an animation for each day. The designers are doing a great job with it, and I’d recommend signing up, which you can do here. We’ll send you an email with a link to the first day’s content on monday of Holy Week.
There’s a bunch of other things you might find useful on the main Easter site, including audio and video downloads, ideas, prayers, and you can leave comments and suggestions on the blog.

That sounds unlikely, but it has been noted by several analysts, including Kevin [...]
