We had an inurnment of a longtime member at our church after the Easter morning service and it seemed so right to be doing that when we were celebrating Resurrection.Donna Fletcher Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986333915483142722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-31874560278266549362011-04-26T01:36:05.750-07:002011-04-26T01:36:05.750-07:00Not sure if I remember correctly but think I heard...Not sure if I remember correctly but think I heard on the wireless today it is the first time since the late 1800s that Easter Monday was on April 25th.Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-10909473253148466982011-04-26T00:59:12.854-07:002011-04-26T00:59:12.854-07:00It's been a wonderful Easter, to remember the ...It's been a wonderful Easter, to remember the ANZACs and to remember what Jesus did for us. I had three great uncles who gave their lives as ANZACs and having written their story it is always quite emotional for me to remember. But when I think of what God gave for us it's overwhelming. I have found myself feeling very blessed and grateful this weekend.

As we exult in Christ's triumph over death, we remember and give thanks for those who have suffered and died to help those oppressed by the evil of this world. Thank you for sharing and Happy Easter. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed.Alice Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218095053108888830noreply@blogger.com
