It was such a joy to get together with the saints this Easter. For first service in Samruan, we met at 7a.m. for worship, communion, a Bible study, and a baby dedication. Whew! It was awesome – so many people showed up for church. And not Easter/Christmas types, but many who had moved away happened to be in town, or recently returned to live in the village again. After service we had breakfast and broke rice together.
Second service met at the usual time in Sawankhalok. Again we had more present that usual. This weekend happens to be a five day weekend, thanks to the Buddhist new year that runs from April 13th-15th. It was a blessing to see folks linger over snacks after the service and fellowship. So often everyone seems to be in a hurry to get home. The kids had a fun Sunday school craft: Making Easter eggs. Most of the eggs here are brown, so don’t take very well to being painted. My innovative wife solved the problem by using the nice white salted duck eggs. Easy to paint, and delicious to eat!
