Easter Weekend

 

On Easter Eve we helped prepare the flowers for the Easter service and fill bags for the children and youth that would be in attendance. 

Easter Sunday brough treats in their Easter baskets, 

including the much requested Gen Z Bible. 

For those that have no idea what the Gen Z Bible is, it's stories from the Bible told in Gen Z (the girls generation) language. It's fabulous! 

Pictures with the flowered cross after the service had ended. 

Meanwhile, at Wachusett Mountain.....

Flat Jesus rides the chairlift. 

Flat Jesus takes in the view from the summit. 

Flat Jesus visits with the EMT on duty. 

Flat Jesus spent the day hanging out in Dave's pocket! The ski patroll team really got a kick out of this! We figured if Dave needed to be at Wachusett on Easter Sunday we might as well send him with one of the bendy Jesus' that we put in the Easter bags for the children at church! 

Before we left church, we helped remove the flowers from the cross and made bouquets to take home and invited others to do the same. 

Trader Joe's flowers never disappoint and will easily last a week or two! 

Easter baskets must always contain bubbles. 

This year instead of dying eggs the girls chose to use their new watercolors to paint them. 

And it was after taking this  picture that I promptly fell asleep for the next couple of hours (and then did not take a picture of how beautiful their eggs came out). For those who celebrated, we hope you had a lovely Easter. And for those that did not, we hope you had a lovely last weekend of March! xo 

On Easter Eve

 

When you are married to the Director of Children's Ministry you get drafted for all sorts of projects. Like building a cross for the congrgation to flower on Easter Sunday! 

This one is about a foot taller than the one he made for Plymouth Church many years ago. We weren't keen on how short that one turned out so he went a bit bigger this time and it feels better to all of us! David did such an outstanding job! 

Grateful to Trader Joe's for the fllower haul! 

And much like husband's get drafted when their wives are the Director of Children's Ministry, daughters get drafted too when their mama is. So incredibly grateful to have such amazing helpers in Dave and the girls! 

While Grace prepared the flowers for the cross, Emma assembled Easter treat bags for all the children for tomorrow. 

The flowers are ready! So excited to bring this tradition to the congregation! I hope they love it as much as we do! 

I pulled out the girls Easter baskets to prepare them for the morning and we couldn't resist putting Violey in! She has been part of our family for one week and she is an absolute perfect addition and a toal sweetheart!

And, of course, we can't leave Miss Clover out! 

Wishing everyone celebrating a very happy Easter eve! xo
