Easter... Sunrise Service

Sunrise on Easter morn.... another first at the new premise.

Had a combined church service this morning... been having this combined service for some years now. The congregations from some of the other English speaking churches such as TBC, FGC joined us at WMC. Started at 6.00 a.m. just as the sun was rising.

There was a good crowd. Church was quite filled; was told that there were almost 200 people in attendance. There were quite a number in school uniforms, quite a number were from FGC; they were going to school after service. Talked was on the women at the tomb of Jesus; their devotion, distraction - who is to roll away the stone... their determination to the task at hand, to anoint the body... and to proclaim that Jesus is alive..

Then there was an elaboration about the stones in our lives.. like the stones of fear, unbelief, unforgiveness, etc., etc..

Service ended at around 7.00 a.m. And breakfast awaited all who went.

Pies, 'ang-ku' await those who fought grogginess and came. Ah Ho and her gang were responsible for the fare. The pies disappeared in no time. And after all that, the kids went to school and those who needed to go to work, left for work... coming up.. Easter Service in the evening.
