Time for Jesus Online
Time for Jesus was filmed by choir members in their own homes during the January/February lockdown of 2021 and then posted online during Holy Week.
The idea was planted by a choir member who said they used the songs as daily lockdown meditations during the previous year's Easter season. Below is a suggested timetable for watching the songs, but obviously you can adapt it to suit your own needs. Our prayer is that it may be a blessing to you and that the music and especially the story bring you hope and joy!

WednesdayWhilst Jesus preaches, others plot his downfall.
"The leading priests and teachers of the law were trying to find a way to kill Jesus." Luke 22 v 2 Jesus wasn't surprised or worried by the enemies he had. He had all power, all control and all goodness. How can that help us today? |

Thursday
Following a last meal with his disciples, Jesus prays in the garden. Peter denies Jesus.
"Then Jesus went about a stone's throw away from them. He knelt down and prayed, " Father, it it is what you want, then let me not have this cup of suffereing. But do what you want, not what I want."
Luke 22 v 39-42
We don't need to be as brave or as powerful as Jesus. When you feel you've let yourself down, what would you love to remember or say to yourself or to Jesus?
