Our Easter Sunday Supper
The hotel here offers several services (for an extra charge, of course), one of them is the option to hire a personal chef for the day or for a meal. We decided a month or so ago that perhaps spending the money for a personal chef to cook us a nice dinner right in our own condo would be better than trying to take all 9 kids and 8 adults out to a busy crowded restaurant Easter evening ... the chef and his assistants set up tables, prepared our meal in our kitchen, and served several courses to us as we sat out on the deck taking in our beautiful view as the sun set. The kids used the coffe table and some couch cousions to make a table on the floor (just like when they ate at the luau) Here are some picturs from our delicious dinner!

Our Easter Sunday Service
Please Please Please if you get a chance visit this churches website!

My sister saw the sign for this church's Easter service yesterday and it was close to our condo, so we decided to have everybody up and ready togo by 7:30 ... not too hard when 7:30am feels like 12:30pm to our bodies :-)
I was so blessed by this service ... there is just so much I could write about, but the kids want to get to the beach so I'll have to ponder what I'll write till later today. I truely hope you are having a very blessed Easter sunday.
What a beautiful setting for a Church, ha?
Our kids outside after the service:
The picture above is what the sanctuary looked like as we walked in ... near the beginning of the service the worship director held up a couple stacks of differently colored post-it-notes and he commented about how plain and ordniary an individual post-it-note can seem.
"Each one has its own use or purpose, but that use and purpose can seem pretty insignificant sometimes." Then he handed them off and said, "But when you put those insignificant, ordinary things in the right hands and they all come together its amazing what can happen ... "
The person with the post-it-notes walked off and the choir entered and stood in front of the black back drop until later in the service and when they moved we realized what had been happening with all those post-its ... while we sang and listed to a solo, others where behind the choir creating a beautiful mosaic type masterpiece our of those ordinary post-its.
Notice in the next pictures the now colorful backdrop:
