We had a very low key Easter, having just gotten over a stomach bug.
But as a fam we finished our walk through the word, retelling the story of our risen Lord, and sang praises to our King.
This year we also used an amazing banner made by a TCC friend that really brought it all to life for our kids, though I have no pics :(. About two weeks out we started looking at OT prophecies pointing to the Messiah, we made our way to the NT passion week and the road to the cross. The sky on the banner gets covered in black and then completely black until resurrection day!
This song kept resonating:
The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
the agonies of Calvary
You the perfect holy One crushed Your Son
Drank the bitter cup reserved for me
Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father's wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once your enemy, now seated at your table
Jesus, thank You
We went to a new house opening in the village that Monday
