So what are your plans for this upcoming Easter?

[Michie]

Just curious what everyone will be doing since we are under so many restrictions this year.

Nothing - no Church , no possibility of our Community meeting up.

I'll have to try and watch Services online

People usually have family get togethers here but that’s out this year.

We were originally going to do a Easter family photo shoot at a local park. We will also have a picnic lunch if possible. But now we will do the photoshoot at home. Does anyone have any other ideas?

That’s kind of what I was looking for. But I’m at a loss really.

Streaming does not work so well for us given where we live.

Here are some ideas:

Arts and craft project sessions
Outdoor exercise or lessons
Singing
Dancing
Acting
Movie and discussion nights
Book club
Revision sessions
Walks at a local park
Tennis
Fly fishing
Sewing
Crochet
Knitting
Pebble decoration

Could you see if there is any parish using a tool such as zoom? That allows regular phone connections, as well as the video conferencing.

For instance:

Palm Sunday Mass Live on Facebook and Zoom | Saint Mary of the Assumption

If there are none nearby you might contact churches such as the one above to see if they mind you calling in.

I highly doubt it. I live in a river valley in the woods. I have had many professionals out here to see if they can get us up to speed and they have all said we live in a technological black hole. Until someone invests in the area I live, I’m pretty much stuck. I’ve just been turning to EWTN.

If you have EWTN that would probably be better. The phone audio would be an option for those using zoom, but you would lose some not having the stream.

Thanks for the info Tall73!

Thanks for the info Tall73!

Sure. Even though it is audio only, for those without any other option calling in on the phone to listen might be the best bet.

Some of my relatives have had their services using zoom, and my kid's youthgroup also had a session with it.

 

[Michie]

It’s really hard keeping up with what’s available in technology when you are so limited by what’s available or not, depending on where you live.

 

[Chrystal-J]

I'll be watching Mass on EWTN.

 

[charsan]

W will be having a ham and videoing my in-laws whom are just a few blocks away. My wife i now decorating foe Easter, she put out the Easter sign on the door and all that good stuff.

I have no idea... I mean, even the family celebrations afterwards will be paired down because my sister and her husband won't be able to come over either. I suppose I'll stream Mass from St. John Cantius like I have the past couple weeks, and maybe the three of us will have some kind of lunch or something.

 

[Michie]

We are not supposed to have family gatherings in my area.

 

[Chrystal-J]

I ordered a bunch of meat via mail order. But, most of it will be BBQ, so I guess I'll have beef instead of ham this year.

Probably stay home alone or work.
