We started our Holy Week celebrations by decorating our Resurrection tree and beginning our nightly singing and reading from Noel Piper’s Lenten Lights.
Palm Sunday we did a play of Christ’s triumphal entry. Monday night we did a play of Jesus cleansing the temple.
Wednesday night we had our traditional egg hunt. We had enough eggs for each child to find 17. After they found their eggs, they traded them in for merchandise at our little store. We did the whole process twice. Big favorites at the store this year were 3-in-1 instant coffee and poppers. We went outside and the kids used all their poppers – it was fun to see the sparks in the dark.
Thursday night we had our Maundy Thursday service with feet washing. The older washed the feet of the younger. Ezra ended by washing Josh’s feet. Our feet are always very dirty so it took some scrubbing to get them clean.
Friday morning we did a Resurrection art lesson over video chat taught by a fellow MK in Cambodia.
Sunday morning we celebrated Easter with the Crowleys and some others. We were sad that we couldn’t be with our Jarai church (churches are closed because of Covid), but we were glad to be able to be with other believers. Thankful that Christ is Alive and that He’s ours forevermore!
