Easter Sunday

James organized our Easter service this year - and based it on "The Case for Easter" by Lee Strobel - doing three different exhibits that discussed the claims for the validity of the Resurrection. Historical, medical and eye-witness Evidence done by three different men. The church was divided into three groups, that rotated between three rooms. 

Bill as a judge - talking about the eyewitness accounts of the Resurrection. 

Shane as "Doctor Johnson" as he discussed the medical side of the suffering Jesus went through. 

Mike - as an archaeologist - talking about the historical evidence of the Resurrection.  

Caleb in his dramatic pose.

Shane leading a few songs upstairs before Wayne gave a short gospel message to tie the three talks together.

Three of the in costume characters. The guys in black (and there was one more) were the ones who kept time and people moving from room to room.

Brad the man. 

Shantel - as Mary Magdalene :) 

James wanted to make a true-to-size tomb.  He would have love to make it more detailed, but in the time he had, it was a neat asset to the morning. 

Our neighbors came to the service and brought the kids special Easter candy. They all love Tracy and she blesses them with special things from time to time. They get to walk her dog once in a while too, which is pretty neat.

We all went to the Windmill for an Easter get together with the family - here's Rob and Miranda. :) 

Uncle Rob and little Abigail. She is such a cutie with her little piggies. :) 

I hadn't seen the kids for a couple days, so it was good to spend the Sunday with them. Erik and Katy came home with us, and Sarah and Jonathan took the other two girls for a few days.
