We celebrated Easter weekend with Corky, Tammy, & Annelise in Charlotte. Lots of family gathered in their home - Patsy (Tammy's mom), Buddy (Patsy's brother), and Will (Annelise's boyfriend.) On Sunday, Will's parents joined us for the day as we celebrated Annelise's baptism. Since moving 12 hours from home, it has been a blessing to us to have Corky & Tammy just a few hours away. We've been able to share Thanksgiving and Easter with them and they have always been so welcoming and wonderful. They were also so gracious to us throughout our move to Wake Forest, having us in their home and driving over to help unpack our HUGE moving truck! They are one of the many ways that the Lord has shown His favor and provision in our lives since stepping out in faith and moving here. As always, it was a special time together. On Saturday, some of their friends and children came over for a delicious lunch...     And then the fun egg hunt... Tammy began the hunt with a special story teaching the children the best part of Easter! Jake, Drew, and Emily Ann quickly made friends with the children from Corky & Tammy's small group and the fun began!    Easter Sunday was so special. The best part was our time together before we went to worship. Tender moments were shared as Annelise shared her testimony. Powerful. We will post her testimony soon! |
Listening to Annelise share how Christ has worked in her life prepared our hearts to worship our Risen Savior. Glory.
Annelise was baptized during the worship service. I was reminded of my own baptism on Easter Sunday 1997. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision one has made to accept Christ's free gift of salvation. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to be a part of Annelise's special day!
Following the worship service, we all gathered for a DELICIOUS meal back at Corky & Tammy's home.
Precious Memories!
