We enjoyed a tremendous Lenten and Easter observance this year. One of the new additions was a flowering cross for Easter Day. Gene Schimpf built the cross from verbal design plans from Mike Barker. We covered the cross with chicken wire. On Holy Saturday Leila Cox and Mike Barker laid a base of Palm Sunday fronds on the mesh. Folks from our worshiping congregation brought flowers from home on Easter and added them to the cross. This was the final product. Amazing.
This is a view of the overflow crowd a the second service. Between the two services we estimate about 600 folks worshiped with us. About 100 more than last year. Every once in a while we have to add some chairs outside the sanctuary doors. On this day we added nearly 75 extending straight back, but then had to add another 30 or so turned 90 degrees! We're already strategizing how to handle the crowd more effectively next year.
