Easter in the Park

Joe and I decided to spend Easter in a non-traditional way. We decided to attend an Easter in the Park at Camp Jordan Arena, East Ridge, TN. It is actually about 5 minutes from our house. We packed up our camping chairs and a blanket and found a nice spot on the lawn to kick back and relax. The service began with praise and worship music and a dramatic skit performed by Hamilton Life Church in Chattanooga, TN. Then the pastor of the church preached while an artist painted on canvas beside him. The picture was painted in pastel colors and it looked like an Easter Egg or something. When the sermon was finished, the artist peeled off some of the paint revealing Jesus at the tomb. I guess it was some kind of special paint that could be peeled off like that, but whatever it was, the end result was cool.

After the service, the children hunted for Easter eggs laid out in the soccer fields at Camp Jordan. After that was over with, we headed over to my parent's house. My brother Jason and family came and we got to eat lunch as a family and the children hunted for Easter eggs later that afternoon.
