EASTER SUNDAY

As the sun rose on Easter, Sunday morning, 23 people gathered on the front porch at 833 Mulberry Grove Road to worship our risen Savior. Pastor Kirk Fifer did a presentation as a Roman soldier reflecting on what he had seen at the crucifixion of Christ and what had happened three days later. Following the worship service everyone gathered at the Hurricane Creek Church of the Brethren for a potluck breakfast. Sunday school and Children's Church began at approximately 9:00 a.m. with 27 in attendance. Children's Church featured reenacting finding the empty tomb on the first Easter morning. Laughter and squeals of delight could be heard as the children participated in the annual egg hunt. The children ranged in age from 3 ½ months to high school students that helped the younger hunters.
