On Sunday, April 4, many of us got to rejoice in the hope of Easter with friends, family, and guests.

The weather this Easter was picture-perfect.

It had actually been two years since we could celebrate Easter Sunday together in person. What a terrific time it was!

Nearly 100 families took photos at our booth. Speakers of ASL, Chinese, English, and Spanish took advantage of the beautiful spring backdrop, and Jennifer Davisson captured some great smiles!

Here are a few of the photos. Click the link below to see all.

We heard from our Children's Choir and Teen Ensemble. And after the service, joyful faces race across the fields in search of colorful eggs!

Pastor Crockett continued his series in Ecclesiastes.

“Much wisdom is much grief,” said Solomon. Knowledge by itself can’t give us permanent profit or lasting joy because of the death that our sin has earned us. But the hope of Easter is that Death itself is defeated.

The world’s smartest minds can’t figure out how to stop death. But Jesus swallowed it up in victory!

Our choir and orchestra sang before and after the sermon, and we all closed the service by singing “Alleluia”—”Praise the Lord!”

MBC Choir and Orchestra presented “Christ Is Risen ” and “Worthy Is the Lamb.”
