Members of the Belleville and Mount Vernon, Illinois, congregations commemorated the Lord's Supper Friday evening, April 2.
On Saturday a buffet was served between the morning and afternoon church services. Member donations covered the cost.
Sunday morning the resurrection of Christ was commemorated in songs and a sermon by pastor Jim Stokes, The Message of the Cross.
A wooden cross, supplied by Larrie and Kimi Wiggand, was transformed into beauty as each child and member took pre-cut flowers and affixed them to the cross through chicken wire. It was a reminder that our Lord took an emblem of shame and transformed it into a badge of glory.
The service concluded with communion and prayer. Jim Stokes.
