Easter

We had the most glorious Easter!

Due to our need for a worship leader, David called around for some help. God provided immeasurably more than we could have ever asked or imagined! A local non-denominational church Ochil Hills Community Church agreed that the entire church would come over for a joint service. We had a full band AND a full church.

It felt like God was graciously offering a picture of what the church can be with diligent, loving care.

The best part: There were so many people that we ran out of little communion cups! (we have about 40 little glass cups) So we served people from the back to front and when we ran out, David invited the rest of us up to the table at the front and we stood around the Lord's table and drank from the same cup. It was a perfect picture of communion and unity! Praise God!!! He commands a blessing where brothers dwell together in unity and we saw it at the alter of God.

One of the visiting ladies hugged me! (British strangers HUGGING!) There were many tails wagging in both fellowships. Alva church folk are inspired by it.

How good and how pleasant it is!
