Resurrection Power!

What a difference an Easter makes! Last year we placed the cross in front of an unfinished project in anticipation of what was to come....a completed church and parking lot. Praise be to God, our faith was honored and how lovely it was to gather around the cross for our Sunrise service this Easter. The weather was lovely and it was a great start to a glorious day.

This picture does not do justice to the beautiful flowers that adorned the sanctuary! And words cannot describe the resurrection power that swept through our midst. With over 200 people in worship we had a real celebration of Jesus, our Risen Saviour!! The Choir and Praise Team began with the Processional and the Holy Spirit took it from there. By the time the Men's Quintet sang everyone was on their feet praising the Lord. We could not ask for a more joyful day of worship.

Of course the children were more than blessed with an abundance of eggs will filled with goodies.
My coffee table was full and running over from Ryan's find. It was a great day for everyone.

Thanks to the many people who gave of their time, talent, treasure and truth so that Easter lifted Jesus high at Holy Cross. Here's to a repeat blessing this week as we celebrate Friendship Sunday. Remember to invite a friend and to cook us something good to eat!!!
