Easter traditions
My own personal tradition is that I go visiting to a different church on
Easter morning (I see plenty of the inside of my own church during the
various Holy Week services!). Usually it is to a different Lutheran
church in the area; but this year, I visited my mother's Catholic church
(which really isn't so different). We all have one thing in common: the
Resurrection! Christ is risen indeed, Alleluia!

Easter Services
I have always enjoyed Easter Sunrise Services. Easter will be hard for
me this year, even though it is later in the year than last year. My
husband LOVED Sunrise Service and always wanted to have it outside at
6AM. Last year he was in Heaven for Easter and got the BEST Easter
SonRise Service EVER. He arrived in Heaven last year March 22. He was
only 47, but he was always ready. He always said the first question he
would ask when he got to heaven was "What took you so long to get me?"
He was truly a blessing to all of us. God's Blessings and Peace to all
of you this Easter Season.

Easter pre sunrise
I love to stand in the church building before daybreak; alone in the
darkness, surrounded by 80-100 lily plants (which, after services, will
be distributed to shut-in folk). The lilies' sweet scent fills the
sanctuary; rising with their scent is the aroma of freshly prepared
Bread and Wine for Holy Communion. Silently, I await the very first ray
of sunlight. This ray pierces the stained glass window, displaces the
darkness and announces the triumphal morning which will overflow with
thankful praise of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Favorite Easter Tradition
Our family's favorite is the tennebrae service on Good Friday. The
lights keep getting dimmed and then near the end of the service they are
out completely. Our pastor stands at the altar and slams the bible shut
to signify the tomb being closed. Then a choir member quietly sings the
"Were you there" song after which everyone leaves in complete silence.
We have been doing this as long as I can remember. You know exactly
what is going to happen, yet you still jump when the bible is slammed
and you still get chills when the soloist starts singing. Not even the
young children talk! (Though one year the slam did cause a baby to
start crying, which just gave you chills even more!!!)

Easter Service
I really enjoy the Easter sunrise service just as I enjoy the Midnight
service for Christmas. There is something that is especially moving
about those services. Unfortunately we do not get to the Easter sunrise
service anymore. My church likes to cook Easter breakfast and the smell
of the eggs sets off an asthma attack. We are looking for another
church to worship at on Easter morning.

SKC
I have for the past 4 years been asked to do our childrens ministry
during our late service. It has been a blessing to be able to bring the
wonderous story to the children. Especially the children who have never
heard the story before. I miss service, easter dinner with my family
(they are 2 hours away and our service does not end until Noon) so I
would never make it there in time. But, the joy that I get to experience
is awesome!

Easter
I just love Easter services. The past few years I've been going to all
3 services that our church has since they are all different.

Easter Service
Being able to go to Easter Service regardless what time. Our church does
not have Sunrise services but when we are with our friends, we go to a
Sunrise service. The most joyous Sunday of all. Who would want to miss
it.

Easter tradition
I enjoy Sunrise service. There is something about the sun shinning thru
the stained glass and the signs of spring abound outside. Easter has
been celebrated for 2000 years. 2000 Easter morning Sun Rises. The Sun
will continue to Rise until the SON RISES AGAIN
