Easter Sunday

Sunday, April 4, Easter morning, we attended church in Ohakune. We had dreamed about pipe organ, men and boys choir, and glorious Easter hymns in a big cathedral but we were nowhere near Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, or Christchurch. So we went to St. John’s Anglican church in little Ohakune. What we got was a good but borrowed sermon off the internet (delivered by a lay person), many glorious Easter hymns but sung to boom box accompaniment, and lots of God’s friendly people from near and far. It was a wonderful Easter morning complete with hot cross buns and chocolate covered marshmallow eggs in the parish house next door after the service.

The afternoon was spent driving north to Lake Taupo and then east to Napier where we spent the night. This vacation traveling time was done. Time for Mark to start working in Wairoa.
