Our Easter Celebration

"He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!" What a blessing to proclaim those words as a body of believers yesterday as we gathered at CPBC to celebrate Christ's resurrection. The Lord blessed us with a beautiful day to rejoice about our beautiful Savior!

We had a house-full for the afternoon to continue our celebration. I failed to get a picture of everyone, but we fit 17 people into our little house for Easter dinner! We had wonderful food and, more importantly, wonderful fellowship. (Thanks to the ladies who helped prepare the food and the ladies who helped clean up!)

The kids (and Henry--well, and some of the rest of the adults too!) had fun hunting for the 12 Resurrection Eggs that Michael hid outside. After the hunt, we gathered inside and Michael led the kids in a discussion using the items inside the eggs to tell the story of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.

Thank you, God, for our risen Savior! He is our Hope!

Viviane was a doll! Thanks for lunch it was scrumptious--and I'm still eating it! Loved the Resurrection eggs--and hearing Vivi say it even more!

Loved all the pictures, and I really love the Resurrection eggs idea. I'll have to look for some for next year!
