On Sunday April 8, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Ringwood celebrated the Resurrection of Christ together. After the more solemn festivals of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, a wonderful display was prepared for Easter morning to enrich our worship.
A small group of worshippers made an early start to their Easter celebrations attending the dawn service. Good Shepherd's traditional Easter breakfast followed for both the early morning and 9am worshippers. After the later service the children enjoyed their Easter egg hunt, with each child given the task of finding eggs labelled "Christ" "is" "risen" in the courtyard.
Thank you to all who made preparations for a wonderful start to the Easter season!
