holy week reflections - worship trick 26

i can't quite believe we're almost in holy week... where did lent go?

anyway i'm sure the blogosphere will be full of creative reflections and links to accompany the journey this year. so to get the ball rolling have a look at holy week reflections from lifewords. jeremy williams at short film in worship put me on to this. there's is a movie/animation/reflection for each day. just click on the day number to watch the movie. i don't know what the deal is with downloading them. but if you use flock (as i do) the way i find out the address of flash movies is as follows:
click on tools - page info - select media tab - highlight the animation and you can see where the movie url is. so day 2 is at http://www.sgmlifewords.com/easter/films/easter2.swf - then click file - save as and you can save that animation so you don't have to be online to watch it. i assume that this is an ok piece of info to pass on?... if you don't use flock, find your own work around - see the source code to find the url etc...

anyway that's eight short movie reflections right there...

Thanks for the plug. There's an animation for each day from monday to sunday, and we're planning to make each one available for download on the day. People are welcome to use the workaround in the meantime.
There's a written reflection for each day too, to accompany the animations. That will go out in a daily email if anyone wants to join that, or they're posted in the liturgies section of our Easter site.

Hi Jonny, thanks once again for blogging some great stuff for personal reflection, I was trying to use flock to save the flash movies, but the full url doesn't show up on the media tab.

any ideas, sorry it's a lame technical comment.

just add the bit it shows to the address... so if it says films/easter7.swf add that to http://www.sgmlifewords.com/easter/

Hi - to save you the hassle ... we've updated the site with download versions of the films, you'll find them in the visual downloads section. Hope that helps. Danielle - SGM Lifewords
