Here's a fun idea to share the Resurrection story with little ones from happyhomefairy.com

Here are some fun snapshots to share from last week's Easter breakfast.

The tables looked mighty festive as several brought and shared some of their own Easter decor.

Among the decor I spotted some pretty handmade Easter eggs JoAnn Birky had made one year.

Betty Booker also shared some of her handiwork, stitched table runners and the cute little washcloth bunnies.

Jan and Mary. Thank you Jan for making some pretty yummy pancakes!

Thank you Beth Lueth for sharing these photos of the daffodils blooming behind our church barn quilt and of the Percival Easter Egg Hunt. Fun times!

*Just a side note: We worked on and completed our church barn quilt in 2018 and even won a purple ribbon for it at the Fremont County Fair. Click HERE to revisit the memories.

**********************************************************************************

Here's a closer look at those beautiful daffodils shared by Nancy Newlon. Thank you Nancy!

Thank you to those of you that were able to come and help tidy up the church yard, it looks very nice!

And dances with the daffodils. ~ William Wordsworth

The Shipleys found a handicap van! A visit from Joan's grandchildren, Andrew, Judith and Zach!

Joan visited with Pastor Mel, April 8th, his 80th Birthday. Mel and Nancy said they miss seeing everyone.

During Lent, let's keep a box by the door, for putting aside things for others.

For those with allergies, NO Easter Lilies, Please! Tulips, daffodils, pansies all okay.

Song Book

170: They shall come from the east

1.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
Both the rich and the poor,
the despised, the distressed,
They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God.
And none will ask what they have been
Provided that their robes are clean;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

2.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
To be met by their Father and welcomed and blessed,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.
The black, the white, the dark, the fair,
Your colour will not matter there;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

3.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
Out of great tribulation to triumph and rest
They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God.
From every tribe and every race,
All men as brothers shall embrace;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west.
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

"Nothing but Thy Blood"
