Easter Sunday was...a tad odd. Since it was so early this year, we had the rare experience of having a snowstorm on Easter. Driving to the early service was a hassle.
However, once we started, things went well. Our early service this year was a group effort, with our youth, Brad and Lester offering music. Brad played a wonderful tune on the sax and Lester plugged in his electric guitar. Brad's mother, Karin rythmically opened
the baptistry where a light was streaming to signify the opening of the empty tomb.Our regular 10am worship had the bell choir play "Thy Word," and a regular "tag-team" sermon by myself and Tammy. To top it off, we had a wonderful song by Bob Rhea, our octogenerian tenor.
Sometimes Easter worship can take on the air of a performance. But this year, at this place, the people worshipped together. We all left knowing that Christ was truly alive and well.
Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!
