Hallelujah! We Serve a Risen Savior!

Dear Friends and Family,
It has been an exciting Holy Week! We had parties, egg hunts, our adult choir Tenebrae service, lots of daily services at the church, a sunrise service and a full morning of worship on Easter morning. Here are a few pictures from all of the activities and services. The Lord has graciously carried us through this hectic time and we pray we've honored and delighted Him in all of our efforts. Easter morning had some bumps in the road (having to leave the house with all of us at 5:30 to set up the sound for the sunrise service only to discover that someone else had already brought sound equipment and had it set up when we got there, dealing with some high school musicians who weren't as reverent as we expected them to be during the worship services, etc). But we praise His Holy Name! He was so good to us this week. The tenebrae service on Friday night was very moving, and we really felt like the Lord blessed our voices and the instrumentalists who accompanied us (what a great little orchestra!), and somehow He made it all so much better than we even hoped it could be. To God be the Glory!! We pray you all had sweet days of remembrance and worship in this last week.
And now--onto our last few weeks of preparations for our children's musical which takes place May 11th. Stan's spring band concerts are next week, and school is out for summer beginning May 19th! We're on that wonderful and wild slippery slope to the end. Hugs to you all!
