Well Easter Day was an awesome day of worship at S.R.B.C. and I would say close to 1500 folks or more attended the two services. The sanctuary holds over 800 folks and it was packed with a couple random empty single seats. Nancy and I were there at 8'ish for the 9 Am service and we worked the welcoming table outside and I helped with security in between services. Everything and everybody was very nice and we saw no one with any indifference to christians or our faith. We did have lots of first time visitors and many who were from out of town visiting with relatives. Pastor Dereck had a great message and the music was awesome and so worshipful. We stayed and worshiped in the second service seeing so many old friends and associates with lots of hugs and hand shakes. It was back to the old fashion way of loving folks once again.
We got home around noon and had a bite of lunch then I hand watered the gardens then vacuumed the house as Nancy did last minute prep for houseful of folks coming around 4 ish. Everyone brought something to share as well and the finger food to start the feast was delicious which Bobby brought and prepared after getting here. Betsy brought her famous potato casserole, Amy a dessert and Tammy a cheesecake as well. We had ham, carrots, salad from the garden and broccoli. Some fruit of the vine flowed as well among a few of us. Everyone watched the young kiddo hunt eggs filled with money some had bills in them as grandma over does it every year, oh well. Around 8'ish after the boys(twins) were bathed they all headed out at once as we put the house back in order. It was a fun event as everyone commented on how the food was awesome once again. Lots of hugs and promises to do this more often. 20 folks in our house is a house full but it was fun.
We did watch history being made again by the Ray's as they beat the Oakland team 11-0 for 4 straight games and now are 9-0 to start the season. The Boston team comes to town tonight and should be a better team according to the press to give the Ray's a test. Our pitching and bats were on fire once again as well as the defense. Lets hope the Lightning tighten up their play for the playoffs next week, LATER
