Subject: RE: How did you celebrate Easter?Had a really terrific Easter. I have an extremely large role in our church's Easter celebrations (Pastoral Intern & Elder of my church ) so it's a busy time for me.
The service was really joyful and celebratory. Our church is a little post-modern and... different!
We started with music, followed by a drama, more music. We (the congregation ) had formed a cross out of stripped tree branches on Good Friday, and this morning we adorned it with flowers. It was really beautiful. Then our pastor gave a sermon, followed by the most wonderful testimony of a friend of mine whose life is totally transformed. Then we have a BLOW OUT brunch together! Totally stuffed. Ugh...
Amazing.
Then my housemates and I hung out, then I went for a run (yay! probably burned off about a sixth of those brunch calories! )
But the thing that really topped my Easter off, is that my mother became a Christian about 10 days ago. Which, I declare, is a total miracle!! And I celebrated her baptism last weekend.
Happy Easter, indeed!!
