17 Apr Easter Story: Willshire, Ohio
We began our Easter observance with the cantata “Easter Song” on Friday and Saturday nights. The church was almost full on Friday, as it was the Good Friday Service for the Parkway Ministerial Association. There was also a good attendance on Saturday night. The cantata was open to singers from the community, along with our own congregation.
Saturday afternoon we hosted an Easter Egg hunt for community children. There were games, crafts, and Bible stories for the different age children followed by the egg hunt. There were 69 youngsters registered to find the 1000+ eggs.
Our Sunrise service began the Sunday schedule, and a powerful presentation was witnessed by over 100 people. Vicki Smith put the service together featuring singers and narrators in costume and film clips.
The breakfast was sponsored by the Camp Committee. All donations will go toward sending children to Camp Cotubic this summer. They are raising $12,000 to help send over 50 children from the church and community to Camp Cotubic.
The weekend concluded with the worship Service on sunday morning, which saw an attendance of 236.
