As the families and friends gathered together on the hill behind the church for an early sunrise Easter service all of nature itself seemed to proclaim praise and joy, Birds joined in with the choir and congregation singing anthems, and competed with short meditations given, Flowers which had unexpectedly opened overnight gave testimony to new life, somehow reinforcing the Easter message. The setting and weather added significantly to the special service. After a short walk back to the church building the children enthusiastically gathered coloured eggs previously hidden around the church. These were later brought to the breakfast table. While the children were busy hunting the eggs, mothers completed the final breakfast preparations and the congregation participated in a fellowship breakfast. The breakfast also bore special significance. It was the first event to take place within the new fellowship hall which has been completed within the past week. The large hall easily and com- fortably accommodated the approximately one hundred persons who sat down to the Easter breakfast. Upstairs in the new addition four new separate classrooms have also been built. Further renovations are currently taking place in the old basement area which will house a church library and office.
