 Sunday Blessings!

An empty Easter Egg is hollow, just like they found the tomb; For it is meant to represent Christ has risen for you.   Matthew 28:6

 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.

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
