Bethany’s 2022 Easter service was led by the Rev. Jesse Larson. Serving as liturgist was Barbara Greene, who read Luke 23: 44-49, 24: 1-12. Jim Guida presented a special Children’s Moment based on Luke 19: 4, using his famous “Jesus Box” to help impart a lesson (and to give each child an Easter keepsake). Music by pianist Natalya Amelchenko graced the service and she accompanied the congregation on the hymns:
Jesus Christ is Risen Today
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
I Danced in the Morning (Lord of the Dance)
Alleluia, Alleluia! Give Thanks to the Risen Lord
Christ is Risen! Shout Hosanna!
The communion table featured a selection of bunnies from the 200-plus piece collection of member Dolores McMackin. Thanks, Dolores, for sharing your Easter treasures!
Watch for all the action during the first hymn, when children searched for candy in an informal “Easter Egg Scramble” in the choir loft.
