Easter 2009 at Faith United Church

The only time I get to church this early on Sunday morning is on Easter because I need to get my "prep" stuff done before the Easter Breakfast which is put on by the Men's Club. So I rolled in just in time to see a wonderful phenomenon that happens between 7:30-8:00 a.m. this time of year.

The sun shines through the stained glass windows over the front door, throwing its light through another window and directly onto the communion table/pulpit/altar. It's beautiful and such a treat to see. (pictures below) and it just fits as an Easter gift.

Sunday was joyful and colorful. Preaching on Easter is my very favorite thing to do. Our Easter Garden was especially spectacular this year, thanks to everyone's donations of plants and flowers and the artistic abilities of one of our newer members who creatively arranged it. 

What a joy it is to be a part of the Easter celebration each year! Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed. Hallelujah!! Amen!
