Belleville and Alton, Illinois, celebrate EasterBELLEVILLE, Illinois—The Belleville congregation was joined by its sister congregation, the Alton church, for a service that focused on the sacrifice and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
The traditional flowering of the cross reminded members of how Jesus took an emblem of shame and turned it into a badge of glory.
Attendance almost doubled for this year’s celebration. A variety of tributes to Christ were made through special music presented by various members. The Alton Kids Dance Team performed a dance with sign language to the song, "Lamb of God."
The service was arranged and directed by Debbie Du Vall of the Belleville congregation. Afterward, a potluck meal was organized by Larrie and Kimi Wiggand. Jim Stokes.
