He is Risen!

Easter Sunday is a wonderful celebration of what Christ did for us, and that the grave could not contain him. My church knows how to celebrate. We sang some of my favorite songs today including Absent from Flesh, Death in His Grave, The Power of the Cross, and a new arrangement of the hymn Up From the Grave. We also got to shout, "He is Risen Indeed!" a few times, AND it was a baptism Sunday, which is always a celebration. I love that Sojourn has someone read the person's testimony to the church before they are baptized.

Here are some of my favorite photos I took of the service yesterday:

Yeah, I kind of love my church, and by "kind of," I mean, I love my church a whole, whole lot. 

I also love my community group (Yes, they're included in my church; therefore, already loved, but they get even more love.), and got to have a wonderful Easter lunch with some of them at Laura's. Laura is an amazing cook...she and my dad are my main cooking inspirations. 

Here's a little collage of the deliciousness we ate:

Nom, nom, nom.
