Easter Sunday Morning...We had a wonderful morning celebrating the resurrection of our Lord. "He is not here, he is risen as He said!" The great news was shared with several visitors as Pastor Chris had children from one of the clubs read a prayer and sing a song. "Let the little children come to me...for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." We were touched by their simple faith and trust. He had a skit with Brits and Americans reading with each others accents...Ana and Jon did a great job! Pastor Chris began his "talk" and then Jesse, Jonah, Becca, Courtney, Natalie and Pascal did their skit entitled "Baggage". We were all blessed by their message of hope in Christ no matter what has happened on the journey, whether by others or by ourselves. We are new creations in Christ! The Son sets us free!
After service we had a "Bring and Share"(potluck) and many stayed. We had a chance to meet many of the Enderby families and friends.
Pastor Rick preached in the PM Service and Ana, Noelle, and Jonah gave their personal testimonies...the power of Jesus can make us new. We had special music from Noelle and Becca and another skit entitled "The Stool". Natalie and Jonah reminded us that we have a choice to give Jesus the throne of our lives and to follow Him.

Football at the church-After the game many of the children returned to the church for a five-on-five football tournament. Spots are from the lighting, not on the lens! The teams were mixed and everyone had fun. Some spent time playing air hockey or just talking. At 6:15 we walked to the Leisure Center, think YMCA, and they were able to swim for an hour.(No photography allowed inside) Back at the church some of the ladies prepared "jacket potatoes" for us...baked potatoes with various toppings. Our day ended at 9
Leicester Fox's Football(soccer) match-Today we were paired with a preteen, young teen, or parent to enjoy a football match. Everyone had fun becoming a "Fox fan" for a day, and getting to know the children that are part of Enderby Church's youth ministry. Some of these youth will be joining us on our Hillhouse Retreat next week. Home team won!
