Ups and Downs

We had our Christian Family Seder on Saturday night. The food was great, courtesy of Celebration Food.  The liturgy was faithful to our understanding of the Exodus experience and a great send-off to Holy week.  Alas, we set up the room to bring forty around a single table, when it would have been far more intimate and appropriate to have been prepared for twenty. So, I was a little down.

But what a difference a night makes.  We had a great crowd for Palm Sunday.  One of our young couples was here with their baby, and we will be having a baptism soon. A young man from our congregation played the guitar and sang. Wonderfully.  We even had one of those special moments in our Chilren’s message.  Do you know what is special about today? Yes, it is April Fools’s Day.  God bless.  Days like these make you love a wee kirk. And you know God loves the wee kirk, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many.
