Welcome to the 2009 Journey

Thank you for joining us today.   You are about to embark on a
journey that invites you to enter into reflection and meditation
that aims to bring the ancient story of Christ's passion into a
personal experience in the life of the seeker today. 

We have designed today’s experience for you to go on a journey
into the life of Christ.  We have designed a series of “thresholds”
(the starting point for a new state or experience; the smallest detectable
sensation; the entrance, the space through which you enter). You are
invited to step across the threshold to another time, another place.
Using all of your senses, you are encouraged to participate fully
in each one. Each Threshold has a scripture reference and many
have other things like poems, lyrics, or other wording.

In the book “Hinds Feet on High Places” by Hannah Hurnard, the
main character travels on a Journey with the Good Shepherd.
At each place that she learns a life lesson, she picks up a stone
and puts it in her pouch to help her remember what she learned.
As a theme, stones will be a thread throughout today's vigil.

Each threshold of the physical vigil will be presented in a
separate post on this blog. Be sure to continue to the 
"older posts" to see all of the thresholds.

Feel free to “journal” your experience.  We encourage you
to share any special thoughts you may have and leave it
n a comment for those who come after you to read.
Throughout the day we will add notes from the physical
vigil to the virtual vigil and vice versa. At the end of the
day, we will have a service in the church sanctuary
beginning at 7:30 p.m.  At that time we will read aloud
any comments that have been left.
