The Holy Week Hustle

One of my great hopes is to not get caught up in the busy loop. You know the one, where you ask someone how they’re doing and they say, oh, busy, and you say, oh, me too. (Is this because we have a hard time saying, I’m good these days?)

There is never a more alluring time to be this way than Holy Week for pastors. I’m here to say some of that frenzy is real. It’s unusual for me to have three church services in a week, one of them on my standard day off. I am coordinating extra music for Easter Sunday, and making sure we have someone acting as greeter that day. I am updating service times on our website. I am also still teaching my usual piano lessons this week. I’m also pretty sure I’ll be spending time with family on Easter, although they tend to be kind enough to not ask me to bring anything (thanks, family).
