Easter 2007

It was certainly a different Easter this year, but a great experience. Easter was a circuit event that happened in a village called Kraaipan. We used the community hall
and for four days people ate, slept, sang and danced their way through the Easter weekend.



We arrived on Thursday afternoon for the opening Communion service (led by the Superintendent). The meal for the evening was 'ama-insides' which Michael was brave enough to try, I on the other hand was prepared to go hungry...

Friday was the Via Dolorosa and Seven Words sermons - what a great experience. Quite long, but so much energy and the hall was packed, along with a tent outside.
Friday evening I did a service and then home.

Saturday was meeting day for just about every organisation. Satuday night was a robing service for new members of the YMG and Manyano.
Michael is now a proud member, with the waistcoat and pin to prove it. (I will be robed later in the year).

Saturday was a late night, so we arrived a bit bleary eyed at 5am on Sunday morning for the healing service which Michael was leading. He brought his guitar and got the crowd moving to 'Happy Day'. Quite an achievement since they had not slept at all, but had a revival service through the night. The weekend closed on Sunday lunch time. We really felt like we were part of the community.
