Sunrise Service on the Deck

It seems to becoming a tradition at our little Church to have our Easter morning sunrise service on the deck. I think we figured that is must be the 8th or 9th year that we have done this. We skipped one year because it was an early easter and the weather reports said it was going to be cold...but it was a beautiful day so from now on...despite the weather you'll find us all on the deck Easter morning. We had a good crowd of 78 people attend (our record attendance was 89). We have a potluck brunch after
the services. You just can't beat it. One of the best parts
is the fact that we get people from all over who attend. This year
we had a family from Wisconsin who were staying in the area.
We always enjoy seeing our friends from out of town. We have
one couple who comes from LaGrande each year (Hi Cliff and Dorothy). And church friends who have moved away (good to see you Pam and Ryan).
If you are ever in the area this time of year you are welcome to join us!

Easter Preparation

It is amazing that we only have one small boy to hunt eggs this year, yet we colored and decorated over 70 eggs!! I would suspect that maybe we have too much fun! Lisa brought mimosas and we stained our fingers blue!!

The weather was perfect, we did the dirty work out side. We had so many eggs left over that I had to make a jar of pickled eggs. Not actually my favorite but I thought I would give it a try.
