24-7 Prayer are running a series of daily podcasts for Holy Week. In association with Survivor Records, the Guildford boiler room have recorded a ten-minute prayer space for each day. The series starts tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th of March.

The podcasts include worship tracks, reflections and Bible readings, and they’re available from itunes or the 24-7 website.

If you’d like to post the Easter Journey animations on your blog or website, they’re now available on Youtube. Visit our Youtube page here.

Our reflections for Holy Week are now live - check out the main SGM Lifewords Easter site for days one and two.

The animations are also available for download so that you can use them offline - see the Visual Downloads section. There are also some audio pieces and scripts, have a look around the site.

If you’d like to help us promote the Easter animation series, please feel free to crib the jpeg above, with a link to www.sgmlifewords.com/easter

Thanks a lot!

Here’s a nice idea from an Australian alternative worship group that would work well in a home group or smaller Easter event - a meal with ‘planted storytellers’.

Stories include Peter, Thomas, Judas, and Mary Magdelene, and it would make for a thought provoking evening of changing perspectives and human drama.

Easter television schedules look like they will be dominated by the BBC’s series on the Passion this year. With episodes through Holy Week, the four part series tells the story of Jesus’ last week from multiple perspectives, in primetime on BBC 1.
The BBC have launched a support site for the series. As well as trailers and a guide to the programmes, resources include articles on the historical context, the Passion in art and literature, and schools materials. Click here for the Passion website.

If you would like to help promote the series, the Christian Enquiry Agency have posters to download, this one for outside the church, and this one for inside the church. Rejesus and the Bible Society have additional resources.

CMS and the London Diocese have produced an interesting set of schools resources for Easter this year. They’ve commissioned a renowned photographer to capture the spirit of the Easter story for young people, and based the resources around the images.

Photographer Dennis Morris is best known for his work with the Sex Pistols and Bob Marley, making him an unexpected but rewarding choice for such a commission.

The images, and accompanying plans for assemblies and workshops, are available as downloads from the CMS site.

With thanks to Jonny Baker for the link.

This year, SGM Lifewords is hosting an online reflective journey through Holy Week, using story, animation, and music. You can sign up to take part here, and we will send you an email on day one of Holy Week, with a link to the day’s content.

Further resources are available from our main Easter site, including PowerPoint presentations, downloadable films, desktop wallpapers, liturgies and more.
