Easter 2009

It was a beautiful day here (another beautiful Zambian day) this Sunday.  We gathered outside the Kamau's house since the floor in the Assembly Room of the Community Center was being finished.  All of the children, 3 mothers, an auntie, and 2 daughters of mothers along with the Kamaus, Schwartzes, and Brian and Angie and children were there.  Then there were 10-15 of the building contract workers that work for Moses.  All in all a very interesting group. 

 We sang with many of the songs led by the 4 oldest girls.  Kimberly read the Easter story from a children's Bible story book.  Then the 4 oldest girls and 2 oldest boys did a liturgical dance to the Selah song "You Raise Me Up."  They used 2 purple flags, and 2 pieces of shiny gold fabric.  At the end they use the gold fabric to form a cross.  It was really very moving. 

 Kamau brought a wonderful message and we ended with the chorus, "Because He lives.."

 It was an Easter we will not easily forget.
