If you would, please post your station ideas here, so we've got them all in one place? I'm sure we'll have some time to chat about them on Wednesday as well.
If you're needing some brainstorming time, please let me know! I can certainly help you :)

So, I need a little bit of feedback on this - my idea has yet to be tested, but if it works I think it will be neat.
The station I have is betrayal - and I want to have people tear or cut strips of red cloth/ribbon, and then tie them around a small rock and drop it into a jar of bleachified water, so that the ribbon becomes white.
Do you think this would work with a reasonable concentration of bleach? I'm planning on picking some stuff up to try it out, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
As far as verses, I kind of would like to focus on Peter's betrayal (or denial) if that is consistent with what the station is supposed to mean - the example used Judas, but I'm not sure if that specific detail is important.
Sounds like a cool idea, Aaron. I highly suggest trying it out. If you need help with your science experiment, let me know.
As far as talking about Peter as opposed to Judas, that's really something we'd need to decide as a group. The idea is to do a traditional stations of the cross, which places the betrayal of Judas earlier.
If our point is to follow tradition, then we should keep it Judas.
If our point is to follow an account of some of the events of Christ's death, the Peter story still follows suit, would just be later.
Either way is cool with me, maybe we should ask folk's opinions on Wednesday?

So...not sure if anyone will see this before tonight, but I've been pondering your idea Aaron and I kind of would like to springboard.
Refer to our good Friday service as "On the night he was betrayed" perhaps carry that theme through the stations, but definitely in communion. Jesus knew he would be betrayed by everyone: one of his disciples directly, Peter and all the others except John and some of the women, by his government, by his religion, but his faith was in the fact that his father wouldn't betray him, and that his followers (really, his siblings) would eventually not betray his memory through the keeping of the Lord's table.
Anyways...I'll end up throwing this out again tonight I'm sure, but if anyone sees this, please feel free to tell me if it's cool or not.

I like that idea Heather - and I think I might incorporate it a little bit in the blurb I put together for my station, if I have your permission. I like to have a slightly wider focus than just Judas, because then rather than thinking "Judas was scum, that sucks" we think "All these guys betrayed Christ, how have I betrayed people".
Or something like that.
It's cool to hit that idea up, the idea of the stations is to have one specific event from the last night Christ was alive. Since Peter's denial and Judas' betrayal aren't in the same section of scripture, perhaps we should do both.
Don't worry, I can team some help with you. You don't have to do two by yourself :)
What about this: Tear the red cloth and carry it with you (Or tie it around the weight you're going to use) then Peter's denial (which comes between Christ's trial, and his long walk) is where the bleachy magic no longer red thing happens?
Tell me your thoughts?
