Easter




Easter this year was such a joy! We've had our house decorated for a few weeks so that we could really enjoy all the pretty colors and talk about what Easter means. It's such a celebration for those of us who know Christ! We celebrate that he is alive in heaven, that after dying a miserable death on the cross for us, he defeated death and lives! What wonderful news to share with our children!!
We had an Easter egg hunt and breakfast a couple of weeks ago at our house with several of our young families from church to help them get connected to one another. That was a real joy for us. Then, yesterday after an amazing message by my husband at church (if I do say so myself :) ) our family came over for another easter egg hunt (for the kids of course) and lunch.
We had a record number of people at Southbridge yesterday... 730!!! Wow, what a blessing to see God moving here in might ways! People trusted Christ in both services and we just couldn't rejoice more at this amazing work that God called us to. While it has been unbelievable amounts of hard work to move here away from a place we loved and friends we still miss terribly and just starting a church in general is a lot of work, God is doing immeasureably more than we could ask or imagine!! Praise Him!
