EASTER at ROL

Easter at River of Life was an exciting experience. We shared in the Dorchester Churches together Walk of Witness on Good Friday where we walked to various points round the town where a scripture and a spoken liturgy were shared and a verse of 'The old rugged cross'! Then we ended up at the Baptist church for hot cross buns!!!! Easter Morning we traveled up to Hardy's Monument where 15 of us gathered for a sunrise celebration worship at 6am - reflections and prayers, a shared agape meal of grapes and matzo bread and all wrapped up by excellent music provided by Neil and Lou with their numb fingers on the guitars! Back for Breakfast at Jagos in Dorch, and thankful to Chris and James for some warmth and an outstanding breakfast. We then re-convened at the Arts Centre for our evening celebration worship at 6pm - followed by much cake and easter egg munching! An innovative idea was shared by one member who provided easter eggs which we could have but not keep. We were to give them to someone deserving of them. I'd love to know who everyone gave theirs to and why? What an inspiring discussion that would be!!!!! I was blessed enough to receive one from a very special friend - who's healing hands have come recently to be a true ministry in our church and who is very much loved and respected - far more than they know! Thank you! I was led by God to give mine to a young person who is a true worshiper who inspires me by openness to God and humility to humanity and is a joy to watch in worship! What is your easter egg story?????????? All things considered an excellent day of resurrection in Dorchester.
