Sheeba loves to play with Rocky, but he 's a pup and gets overwhelmed after a while. I am so glad she found a friend after we lost our Jimmy in 2007.

Its getting hotter now , today I started my small water cooler, it gives some respite. Soon I will get my window water cooler fixed.
Preparations for Passion week services are on. We have a Passover evening communion service, then a 3 hour Good Friday afternoon service from 12pm to 3 pm in which the 7 last words of Jesus are expounded upon. Its rather a long service to attend in the heat. But if the speakers and music is good then time passes quickly. The Good Friday fast is broken with hot cross buns. The British passed on this tradition to us.
On Saturday evening there will be an Easter Procession with floats depicting the trial, crucifixtion and Resurrection of Christ.It will pass through various areas of our city and culminate on our church grounds. A fellowship dinner is being organised across the river and transport will be provided for all who need it.
We have Easter morning worship at 9 am followed by a community lunch, again across the river.
So we have an exciting week ahead. Pray that the Resurrection Message may reach as many people as possible.

Your church members are celebrating in a creative way and I like the image of crossing the river. I hope many are reached for Christ when they see your love and enthusiasm.
I really enjoyed learning Indian Christian tradition at Easter time. My church doesn't have procession, but we also have service at Great Friday afternoon. In Poland weather in spring is really changeable - this year it is quite cool.
And I'm happy that Sheeba knew her new young friend! She will treat him as baby.
I always enjoy reading about your traditions. Easter sounds like it will be very meaningful.
We will have an Easter play at our church on Easter morning and I also pray that many will come to know Christ then. Afterwards we will have a family meal.
Dear Amrita,
I admire the way you are celebrating Easter, so wholeheartedly and vivid.
I pray that people may see your adoration and come to learn more.
You do indeed belong to a "burning" church. A role-model to all of us.
Dear Amrita,
You reminded me of the processions that are traditional in my native country (Colombia) during this "Passion Week." I remember the reverence and hours of prayer and reflection, the 7-last-words-of-Jesus sermons.
Blessings to you, my sweet friend. And Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your kind comment.
