Celebrating Easter

Celebrating Easter




I hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the Resurrections of  our
Lord Jesus Christ.  

My husband , daughter and I was privileged to be apart of our church choir for the musical presentation of

 'The Story'.

What a great way to celebrate Easter by 

hearing a musical that focuses on the
 life, death and resurrection of 

Jesus Christ

***********************

I was given the task of decorating the 
front of the pulpit and stage area.

Our choir director ask that I try to have the decoration resemble the cover of the musical.

This was the front cover

Easy Right!!!!

 

Here is what I came up with. 
I had two wonderful ladies as helpers

OK ,you know I just had to add a few things.

Close Ups!!!!

 We have a talented young lady that made the 

crown to match the cover.

We were very proud of the end results.

Then we thought why stop here so 

we added a few things to the foyer.

(Oops I see my reflection)

The musical was a wonderful way that we were able to share about

The life of Jesus Christ.

*********************************

My family gathered after the service to what has become our traditional 

meal of chicken and spaghetti and loads of goodies.

We have no small ones, so we enjoyed a quite afternoon with family,

 kind of glad it was muddy, cool and damp here in Texas.

Just a quick look at our Easter table, simple and bright!

                     

Thanks for dropping by

I think Spring has finally come to Texas!!!!

Goodbye--Farewell--See Ya!!

Thought I would join all of you  Gals in the challenge from Cuisine Kathleen for her Farewell to Summer 

My post is a little different as I wanted to show  you our

Going away  CELEBRATION for a good friend at our church.

This sweet lady is moving to be close to her family due 

to the sudden death of her husband. This is one strong and faithful lady.

Her family has been members of our congregation for over 27 years.

Faithful choir member, VBS Worker, Sunday School officer, 

Praise Team Member, right hand to choir director and 

was always available to provide us with her 

WORLD FAMOUS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.

She will be missed by all.

The church hosted a going away celebration for her

 before she moved. 

I was honored when asked to 

decorate for the occasion.

One of her greatest loves is music.......so that was the theme we used.

Table Centerpeices

                                 

 My talented daughter came to my rescue and cut out music notes 

hurray for cricut

and I had two ladies 

who helped put everything together.

We placed sheet music under each centerpiece and 

 also had a runner of sheet music on the cake table.

You can also see shredded sheet music 

around the cake table

thank goodness for old choir music

      As she is moving from the great state of Texas to a state up north of here

  OKLAHOMA, you know that is hard to type for  a Texan

We set up a gift and card table representing were she had been

and were she was going. 

    

     

 

Guest were treated to cake and punch 

Has she and two other ladies in the photo sang together 

for many years 

they sang together one last time.

We had a time of remembrance by many folks with laughs and tears.

During our time of celebrations we also had a time

 surrounding her with our prayers and love!

As I say farewell to summer 

I say see you later to a dear and gracious lady.

Thanks for stopping by

Hope you have a wonderful

Labor Day!

I will be joining
