8 Minutes a Week

How much time does it take to learn something new, ask big questions, and wonder about faith as a family? Only about 8 minutes a week, if you ask Rev. Cara Rockhill and Rowan Larson! In this new joint venture of St. Paul’s, Newton Highlands, and Grace Church, Cara and Rowan offer short podcast episodes for children, families, and seekers of all ages. Give it a listen, and let us know what you think!


 Episode 1: Palm Sunday

What’s Palm Sunday? Why do we wave (and save) palms? And what ever happened to the donkey that Jesus rode into Jerusalem? Join Cara and Rowan
for the first episode of 8 Minutes a Week, a new podcast exploring questions
about God and faith we’ve always wanted to ask!

 Episode 2: Holy Week (Part 1)

Holy Week is so big that we had to split it into two episodes!
In this episode of 8 Minutes A Week, Rowan walks us through Tenebrae and Maundy Thursday, two of the liturgies we celebrate during Holy Week.
We talk about some of the big feelings around Jesus’ death while
we await the Easter resurrection during Holy Week.

 Episode 3: Holy Week (Part 2)

Holy Week Part 2! In this episode of 8 Minutes A Week, Cara introduces us to the Triduum (Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and the Easter Vigil) and brings us to the end of Holy Week. This episode has our Holy Week wondering questions. Like our
previous episode, there are some big feelings and hard things that we explore
as we get into the whys and hows of Holy Week.
