Titles will be updated each week. The library lists the YouTube link and the Google Drive link for each video. Currently the library has three categories of videos:

A Sacred Meal for a Dispersed Community

“A Sacred Meal for a Dispersed Community” is a liturgy available for use in the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire during Advent and Epiphany 2020-2021. Acknowledging that we are not in the same physical space in the same way that Jesus gathered in the Upper Room with his disciples on the night before he suffered, we can come together nonetheless via online technology or at home.  We do so out of the spiritual yearning for closeness expressed by our Savior who said, “I have eagerly desired to share this Passover with you before I suffer.” (Luke 22:15)

These services are based on the Agape Meal for Maundy Thursday found on page 84 in the Book of Occasional Services and they acknowledge a connection with the Jewish shabbat tradition of a Friday night ceremonial meal usually celebrated in the home, remembering the dispersal of the Jewish people and God’s provision in exile.

The following liturgies may be used as indicated. There are options provided for prayers of the people, but you may also adapt and use your own selections. They may be led by a priest, deacon or lay leader.
