Easter Sunrise


We wanted to share how we do the sunrise in NE. No beautiful beaches... instead we meet in a pasture, that had donkeys in it this year! We could hear them braying, but they didn't come over the hill. They did however leave us reminders of themselves, so we had to watch where we stepped!

Being on the western side of the central time zone, we didn't have to start until 6:45. What a beautiful time to worship our Risen Lord. The sun came over the hill as Tom was preaching.




We had about 55 people attend sunrise, then we went back to the church where the men served up pancakes and sausage. Breakfast was followed with our regular worship service at 9:00.











This year we did a treasure hunt using Bible references as clues. The kids had to look them up and figure out where the next clue was. We used verses with words like boats, ice, branches, flowers, eggs, etc. We made Resurrection Baskets with items that reminded us of the Easter Story.
