A friend told me today she was at a wedding in Mobile this past weekend and thought Mobile was a nice town. Another one I haven't seen. Have a great week!

Love the idea of holding Easter services at the stadium. My uncle (pastor) used to officiate Easter services from the racetrack in Sarasota.

We have two campuses and at our main campus, we have two traditional services (people dress up more) and we also have contemporary services where the dress is much more casual. Our other campus is a total mix.

We would need about 14 worship services to accommodate enough people on Easter and we haven't ALL been together in so long. I'm really excited about the service. Last year was our first Easter to miss church, too, and we were alone for Sunday lunch. It was an Easter to remember in weird ways!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181034688965864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021560750371071992.post-11914343173191510872021-03-24T10:01:30.145-05:002021-03-24T10:01:30.145-05:00I'm cracking up over wearing a Sunday dress or...I'm cracking up over wearing a Sunday dress or football jersey.

Our church will be having three indoor services Easter Sunday and I feel sure all will be full. The sanctuary holds several thousand. Wearing masks is by choice and very few do it and there is no social distancing at all. It has been wonderful and I realize we are the exception.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021560750371071992.post-22761205712932103022021-03-24T05:47:21.074-05:002021-03-24T05:47:21.074-05:00Life before easy access to internet was so thrilli...Life before easy access to internet was so thrilling. Great picture of granddaughter in her swing so cute. Great idea of having service at the football stadium. Last year was the first year in over 50 years I did not attend church on Easter. My church is open so I have enjoyed being back in person...capacity is probably 500+ but our attendance has been about 100 to 200.<br />Have a great rest of the week.Tammy Enjoy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711196389724268907noreply@blogger.com
