Easter Pics

I wanted you to be able to see the boys on Easter. Stacie made them look really cute.

We had a beautiful weekend. On Friday, we performed our 3rd Tenebrae service. (If you've never been to a Tenebrae service you should - you might be able to catch a Greek Orthodox Church having one this week - otherwise you'll have to wait until next year's Good Friday.) It was a beautful service. Stacie sang "How Deep the Father's Love" - it was very moving. We added some video to help reinforce some of the themes. 35 in the orchestra, 45 in the choir (small group, but best sound i've had so far), 1 fainting choir member (she's okay), 250 candles, 2 narrators, 4 candlelighters... a good service. It's amazing - we don't really publicize big, but our people just love the sombreness, the meditative quality, of this service. i do, too. it makes the joy of Easter's "He is risen" even brighter.

On Easter, we had just a good strong service. i did write a 2:30 sketch called "The Talk of Angels" - it was actually a continuation of a series of sketches started at Christmas. The Christmas sketches were relaxed and comedic. This was gut wrenching and difficult to swallow - i thought maybe it was too much, but i couldn't see it another way - and it worked. I will post some pic's of our church's weekend when i get them - but now for the pics you want to see. the kids.

Enjoy
