2014 Easter, Journal, Christian Thoughts

This was fourth year of Easter celebration dinner at the home of Lisa/Dave.

Drinks’ counter: various kinds of wines from Lisa and beer and water with ice provided by Elsa.

One of the Dining Tables

Hiroko is surprised to these tablecloths.  Who made these?  Mom, you did.  WOW!  It is beautiful.  Ha,ha,ha,ha!

At the front of the pretty tulips, little cute chicks were in the dish.  It was made with egg shell by Dave’s niece who is 10 years old.  It was very cute chicks and clever idea.

Lady and Man of the house

Dave has always been a good chef, and Lisa stayed by his side to prepare right dishes for the foods and clean the things chef need.

Here is the people

Leo and Mikio

Dave’s mother and grand-daughter - this girl made the egg shell chicks

It was little bit cool and lots of sunshine.  Who was bathing sunshine?  Richard’s tenant and Dave’s brother

Dave’s father - his salad and green bean with bacon are very tasty

Dave’s brother and his wife  Where is their dog?  They are really fun to talk.

Today’s main dish - Steak and spaghetti, and chef 

Time to eat!

Dan-san, as usual gave the grace for the foods.

Give praise and thank to the Lord God for His Love and Grace, Jesus showed on the cross.

Thanks for the family and friends, and good health for everyone.

There were usual foods, so Hiroko didn’t take photo.  However, she missed some foods.  What was it?? 

Salad by Dave’s father, …  Hey!   Holly, Dave’s sister-in-law’s broccoli rice, and green beans with bacon.

Time to clean-up by Holy and Elsa

What are they doing?  Weren’t they take responsibility to clean the dishes?

Well, now they’re agreed something and started to clean the dishes.

Dessert Time 

This was the dessert made by Richard’s tenant

Another Easter Luncheon

On the Easter Day, April 20, Sunday, was held annual luncheon after the Easter Worship Service

This is Devon Church Sanctuary, Dan-san and Hiroko has attended for 30 years.

At Easter Service, puppet shows were played.  The puppet show stage was put on the left side of the pulpit.  The cover of the alter was white, which is the Easter color, and the Easter emblems on the white cloth.

The screen is hung on the left side of the alter.  On the screen can you see the word “Risen”?  The whole sentence is that “Jesus has Risen” was on the screen.  Jesus rose on the Easter Day.  The most important subject of Christianity is that Jesus’ death on the cross, and Jesus’ resurrection after three days. 

Children’s luncheon room in the church basement - Children loved all the decorations, and took them home.

Luncheon room - Before the Worship Service they were enjoying a cup of coffee

This is the center piece of the table. 

As usual, Hiroko forgot to take the photos.  There were lots of food with many different kinds of ethnic foods and all were very tasty.  Hiroko made ham for Church Luncheon and also for Lisa/Dave’s.
