Yesterday in church we had a reflective service on the theme of Easter. Chairs had been removed and the space which that created was used for 11 different Easter-themed installations, the twelth was a video sermon from utube which was running in the cafe. For anyone wondering what I ran, you can follow this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeTMVq6kQZI&feature=related It is called "No arms, no legs, no worries" and is hugely powerful.
The different installations looked at different aspects of the Easter story and each had a point or application to reflect over, an activity and / or something to pray about. The very youngest children went out to their own activities but the others stayed with their families and enjoyed the different posts.
We had fourty minutes for this and people were engaged the whole time as the pictures show.
People have different preferred learning styles and a visual interractive service like this one will appeal to some more than others but from the comments and feedback afterwards it seems that lots of people were able to use it to focus on God and what He did for us in Jesus at Easter.
When I wrote my dissertation it included a significant amount on "What is church?" a question that is worth reflecting on. What do you think? Was this church? Why or why not?
