Easter Monday (a day late)
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Monday after Easter (Lundi de Pâques) is always a holiday here. It’s just like Good Friday (Vendredi Saint). All the shops are closed. You’re not supposed to work in the yard, for it’s a time for rest, reading, thinking, family, skiing…
Snow fell on Friday, Saturday night, Sunday and Monday. It’s one of the problems of an early Easter and for those who enjoy searching for chocolate eggs.
Sunday worship was at the local retirement home. 40 to 50 of the residents showed up as well as 2 great families from the Geneva church who came to encourage the Lausanne church. It was a meaningful morning, celebrating our Lord’s resurrection and the new creation in Christ.
The sermon was simple: Death is still the enemy; Life is greater than death; Our destiny is glorious.
