Subject: RE: BS: What'd you do for Easter?
For me, "What I did for Easter" includes Lent, too.

The Great Litany
Shrove Tuesday
Chairing the monthly meeting with a candidate for ordination
Ash Wednesday
Lenten Suppers all around the convocation Wednesday evenings
Topical music for the Saturday Night Service each week
Palm Sunday
Maundy Thursday
Vigil at the Altar of Repose
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
Good Friday
The Great Vigil of Easter (read one of the lessons by candlelight)
Made early Easter AM brunch for homeless men at shelter (this is a project I chair twice a year separate from the parish's outreach)

In between these I arranged and laid out one songbook (players' copies and people's words-only booklet), transcribed/wrote/edited text for the next songbook from recordings, and filled in missing arrangements for the last songbook. Many tousand bottles of whiteout gone.

And kept my husband and critters fed on my own (usually husband helps) while husband ran the parish and led all those liturgies.
