Scenes from “The Way of the Cross” -- Good Friday service at Covenant Lutheran Church on April 2, 2010. This was a modified version of the stations of the cross that included Scripture readings, prayers, reflections, hymns, and choir. Each station was presented in tableau.
Reggie Kidd (IWS prof) answers the question, “What breaks your heart?” From TheWorkofthePeople.com:
I like to present our Psalm texts in a variety of fashions in worship. We’ve used traditional chant tones, contemporary tones (“Taste and See” from This Far By Faith), unison readings, responsive readings, readers theater, Taize, and video. I wanted to use a video this week (for Baptism of Our Lord), but couldn’t find much available. So I created this video using iMovie.
This is one of the most creative attempts at a worship music video I’ve seen in a while. The low-fi feel is perfect. Lyrics are:
Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
Sweet Jesus Christ my clarityBread of heaven broken for me
Cup of salvation held up to drink
Jesus the MysteryChrist has died and
Christ is risen
And Christ will come again

The text for this song comes from the Memorial Acclamation, which is said/sung during the Eucharist. The pastor/priest invites the assembly to “Proclaim the mystery of our faith.” It’s a wonderful, compact Christological statement that captures the heart of who Jesus is in bite-size form.
