Easter Sunrise Service<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s been a very nice weekend so far and Easter Sunday was nice, as well. For a few years now we’ve been going to the Fourth Presbyterian Church sunrise service at 6:00 a.m. on Easter. We woke up at about 5:00 and got there just as the service was starting. Of course it’s still dark when the service starts but by the end the sky has begun to turn an amazingly deep blue (which is when I took this picture).<\/p>\n

After the service we went to the upper room for breakfast and to chat with folks that we don’t see nearly enough. I especially enjoyed talking with Greg, Aimee, and Michael, among others. We also went to the 8:00 a.m. service in the sanctuary, their regular early service. Easter music is among my favorite, generally better than Christmas music in my opinion, and Easter music at Fourth is particularly good, being accompanied by an orchestra. Today that included singing Christ The Lord Is Risen Today<\/em>, Thine Is The Glory<\/em>, (both of which we also sang outside earlier) and the service ending Hallelujah Chorus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’s a very good way to start an Easter celebration that really continued all day for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
