A Sneak Peak: Resurrection Sunday

We are surrounded by bunnies, eggs, etc at this time of year, but what do any of these things have to do with the true meaning of Easter, or as we like to refer to it...Resurrection Sunday.

We had a great Resurrection Sunday as we sang praises to God, were blessed from the preaching of His Word, fellowshipped with fellow believers and had our first Lord's Table as a church.

Here is one of the songs we sang on Sunday. Go to Maggie's blog to watch the other one!
