Easter Sunday 2014

   "Sunrise" service -- well, 8:00 am if you want to be picky.

The forecast was for rain, so we had a canopy

Wearing our best clothes

And here is our traditional after-service picture at Cy Hampson Park on Easter Sunday Morning.

     Then we repaired to the church for a delicious breakfast, of quiche, sausage, fruit, orange juice, hot cross buns.  Quite a feast.  I think the cooks and servers were up even earlier than the sunrise service worshippers.

     Our morning service was filled with joy, from the first "Christ is Risen!  He is Risen indeed!" to the last "Hallelujah," praise and prayer and especially music filled our senses and our souls.

     The Living Flame, all turned out in their Sunday best, sang "Glory, to the Risen Lord!" with handbell accompaniment.

   Our hard-working organist invited guest musicians to help out so we had  William and Frances Perriam 

on violin and piano.  Elizabeth Clarke added a second pair of hands to the piano and then switched to the organ.  Larry hopped back and forth between the organ and cello.

    The service ended with Handel's magnificent "Hallelujah Chorus"

       

Here's Larry dressed for action after the service!

    Happy Easter, everyone. 

 Christ is Risen!  He is Risen Indeed!  Hallelujah!
