Easter 2010

I love Easter...love all the little things we do to celebrate...love everything that it represents. New life. A resurrected life. I am grateful that He gave His life so that I might live!



Coloring eggs at the church-wide Easter celebration






As part of our celebration, we had a "Walk Through the Resurrection" with the deacons and pastors telling the Easter story.


The donkey reminds us of Christ's entry into Jerusalem


The coins remind us of the 30 pieces of silver that Judas received for betraying Jesus into the hands of the Jewish leaders.


The cup reminds us of Jesus' last supper with His disciples before His crucifixion.


The praying hands remind us of Jesus' visit to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray.


The leather strips remind us of the whip used to give Jesus 39 lashes after His trial by Pilate.


The crown of thorns reminds us of the crown that the soldiers placed on Jesus' head while mocking Him, saying, "Hail! King of the Jews!"


The spikes remind us of the nails that were driven into the hands and feet of Jesus when He was crucified on the cross.


The die reminds us of the Roman soldiers gambling for Jesus' robe.


The spear reminds us that the Roman soldiers pierced Jesus' side while He was on the cross.




The stone reminds us of the tomb with the stone rolled away


The tomb is empty because Jesus is resurrected and He lives!



The egg hunt is on!
