Easter #2 in Suzhou

A few weeks ago (been awhile since I blogged!) we celebrated our second Easter here.  This year was incredible as we joined with the Chinese church in a joint service.  For the AM service, there were about 500 people and then the late service had closer to 1,500.  Amazing!

Worshipping through music, singing in whatever language you know.  On the screen to the right are the words in both English and Chinese!

Palm Sunday, week before.  Obligatory kids program.  The really did do a great job!

Symbolic eggs were handed out.  Not sure what that is though, maybe a jackalope?

Grillin' and chillin' - Easter dinner with our Suzhou family.

Decided chicken was the safest meat option.

All the kids gathered together for the talk before the Easter egg hunt.

Ding-a-ling that's one cute kid (try to focus on the girl in the foreground, not Rowan).

The spoils of war.
