EASTER CELEBRATIONS

Thank you to everyone, which includes our whole parish, for making our Easter celebration a wonderful experience. The breakfast and after-church treats were truly the best in town and obviously well-prepared; the music was exceptional; the fellowship, friendship and worship were a true witness to the Risen Lord. It was a marvelous way to end a holy week of prayer and watchfulness – with a joyful Alleluia!
