Easter 2007

We hope you all had a fantastic Easter and were able to spend time really reflecting on this day of rejoicing! Jesus showed His passionate love for humanity when He willingly went to the cross. He said, no more talking about how much I love you; let Me show you. He bled and died because passion is more than words; it requires action. It was finished by Christ defying everyone and raising from the dead on the third day! We've been able to spend time reflecting on "Easter" with services at church on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday evenings and an Easter egg hunt (Childrens) on Saturday morning (pictures to come). It was awesome to see all the little children get excited when we read the "Easter Story" to them because they knew what happened on Good Friday and then Easter! We are so thankful to be at our church, 5 years this month! Our digital camera isn't working properly so we have to rely on others for pictures :-( Jody went to the sunrise service at church this morning, only 26 degrees! The girls and I stayed home mainly because of the cold and early time! We had our regular 11:00am service and Matt & Diana and Teresa joined us for our first service in the new Family Life Center, the girls were so excited to see them! Emma sang with the Childrens Choir too :-) The building was great and we definately needed the space this morning! We went to my aunt's house to eat lunch with family and had a surprise party for my "Uncle White" (Dwight) as Emma calls him! Of course the girls received more than enough candy and toys to last them a while! Emma is looking forward to her Easter Egg Hunt at Preschool tomorrow!
