Hi Everyone: Well we got through the Easter weekend even though our church doesn't celebrate Easter until April, they following the Orthodox Calendar. I know you are probably asking well, what kind of a church are they attending. It isn't connected with any particular denomination but we do function in a church that is owned by the Assembly of God denomination. It is a question that in the near future I hope to have a clearer answer for those of you who have asked either Gary or I that. But please don't let that scare you, because Pastor Kevin preaches straight from God's word and in the last year I have learned more from him then I have in almost 49 years of teaching from others. I will truly miss him when he and his family move to Arizona. Enough about that.
We had a wonderful weekend beginning with attending Good Friday service with my friend Stacey and her two girls at their new church. I also got to see my friends the Reason's and their two boys. Wow, they are growing into fine young men! It made me feel old!!! It was good to sing some of the old hymns like The Old Rugged Cross and Amazing Grace. Her pastor's message was titled "The Worst of Good Friday", it wasn't the betrayal, it wasn't the beating, it wasn't even the cruxification, It was the separation from his Father! Then on Saturday evening Gary and I had dinner with our friends that we camp with and then a time of bible study. Gary's mother, sister and her family and Cristan and her family and of course Steven, were here for Easter lunch. We had turkey crepes, spinach salad, fresh fruit and Eleanor made a rhubarb-strawberry cake for dessert. Steven said it was the worst Easter dinner he had ever had. Everyone else enjoyed it. I was feeling a little lazy and didn't want to spend all day in the Kitchen on Sat. or Sunday. But I did make the crepes! Whats the boy want? He didn't have to cook it and he took off to his girlfriends to eat more later. If you have seen a picture of him latly then you know he isn't wasting away! :)
Well, I hope that you had a Blessed Easter weekend and enjoyed a time of fellowship with family and also had time for some rest! I will also post some pic's from the weekend. Enjoy!
Grandma Cheryl
