A companion pilgrim and General Convention Deputy and her husband have produced a collection of essays to take people through Eastertide, called 50 Alleluias. Go mosey on over to their blogsite to sign up for a daily email reflection written by members of their congregation.
In an introduction, Sara writes:
The Alleluia Booklet includes 50 meditations or alleluias, one for each day of the Easter season. Each alleluia is a story, poem, image or other creative piece about resurrection. Some are grand resurrection stories and experiences, some more humble.
Each meditation is written or offered by a member of our community. Many are offered by members of The Garden, Gethsemane Church, our growing church in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Others are offered by members of our larger church community.
At the end of the Easter season, on the Sunday after Pentecost, a day set aside by General Convention for fasting and giving to the Millennium Development Goals we ask for an offering for the Millennium Development Goals and the growth of our mission as a church.

About Me
- Caminante
- I am a life-long Episcopalian, who has been ordained since 1993. I was rector of a family-size congregation from 1994-2008 and and ended three years as priest in partnership at a pastoral-size congregation in Vermont's fourth-largest city (Rutland) in 2011. Now I am vicar of a tiny congregation in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I am involved in church governance at the diocesan, church-wide and international Anglican levels. I was a member of a CREDO faculty team working with the clergy and lay leaders of l'Eglise Episcopale d'Haiti. I also try to go to El Salvador a few times a year and am officially Canon Missioner of the Anglican Episcopal Church of El Salvador (since 2004). In 2007, I finished the 1570 km Chemin de Saint Jacques/Camino de Santiago de Compostela. I greatly enjoy hiking in the Vermont Greens and NH Whites and reflect on those hikes. In 2010 I also completed walking the 273 mile-long Long Trail in the Green Mountains of Vermont... maybe next the Appalachian Trail? Lastly but most important, I am a cat-fanatic. (N.B. Whatever I post here does not reflect either the opinions of my congregation or of The Episcopal Church but merely those of an individual.)
