A great Easter had by all at Marion Corps!
Friday morning at Seacombe Gardens we remembered Jesus' crucifixion and recalled that no matter which metaphor we use to explain its efficacy, it's a demonstration of God's love for us. The sharing of communion was a special time.
Friday afternoon in the city we joined with other Salvationists from around the city for a service with a difference. Similiar to our Messy Church services, it was a tactile, experiential service catering to the whole family. Worshippers journeyed to stations where they could paint tiles, hammer in the nails, leave a burden (rock) at the foot of the cross, taste the bitter and the sweet of Easter (sour lollies and chocolate) etc.
Sunday morning we enjoyed the sunrise at Seacliff Beach with the other churches from the Marion/ Brighton area. We appreciated the drama from the Catholic Evangelism Team and the worshippers enjoyed the contributions from our Corps band, as well as the breakfast afterward.
Sunday morning continued with the celebration at our Seacombe Centre. Video clips, music, kids messages and Bible readings all pointed to the invitation to write a resurrection story over our own lives. We celebrated with some of our guys that have been living in tents - they have a house starting this Tuesday!
Sunday night at Glenelg we met for a Passover meal. It was a few days late (Christians usually would have a Passover meal on Thursday night to remember Christ's last meal with his disciples, and our Jewish brothers start their passover celebrations on Friday evening).
A great weekend, where God continued his work among us.
