Oh my, I had two beautiful services. The sunrise service was held at the village town hall. My pianist and I decorated the tables with white table cloths and purple tissue paper made into fan shapes arranged around vases of flowers, and colored grass, eggs and bunny sprinkles. I set up the podium and a small table at one end of the room, on which I put the Paschal Candle and lots of smaller candles to be lit from it. We did a joyous responsive reading, sang He Lives and had prayer. I preached a short sermonette and Stephanie, my girl with the angel voice, sang He's Alive. We recited the Apostles' Creed and ended with a prayer and blessing of the food. Then we ate the biggest breakfast you ever saw. My pianist is also the manager at Wendy's and he wants to have his own catering business. He never knows when to stop with the food. We had scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, sausage gravy (my contribution), cinnamon apples, cheese baked tomato slices, hash browns, mixed fruit, muffins, pecan sticky buns, cinnamon buns, coffee, milk, chocolate milk and orange juice. Did I miss anything? Afterwards I felt like this...
Now that I see what you consumed yesterday, you won't need another meal for a while, girl...:))
Know everything was beautiful and wonderful!
