Bonjour,
Happy Easter!
We had a sunrise service this morning at 7:00. We started out with a few people but ended up with a good crowd by 8:00. We had three preachers this morning. None of them had told each other what they would be preaching about. Dan preached on the death of Christ and "It is finished." Joe preached on the burial of Christ and the significance of the folded napkin. Then, Evans preached on the resurrection; I wasn't in there for that one because we had junior church. But, Joe said that all of the messages just fit together so well.
I had twenty-nine in the six and under class. They were ready to get some wiggles out after sitting through two messages. We had fun.
We came home, had lunch, and got a short nap in before the 2:00 meeting out in the field. Over 100 children were here before 2:00. Emmanuel taught a lesson while we waited for others to arrive. We ended up with almost 200 people. We played several games, and then Evans preached.
After supper, we took it easy. We are all ready for bed this evening!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
