Centenario

A few years ago, the church my husband and I grew up in, and eventually got married in, became a Spanish church.  But it is still affiliated with the Free Methodist Church of North America, so today they had a 100th Anniversary celebration.  The "little church on the corner" has been around for a century now.

Some of the "old church family" came back for the celebration and a tour of the interior.  I love what they've done with the sanctuary.  The pics really don't do it justice.  It's so light, bright and cheery!  I love the sheers on the windows.  They make the stained glass glow.  The seats are comfy and the A/V setup is nice.  One of the best improvements they've made is putting in a new furnace with central air.  

I'm glad they can bring the Good News of Jesus to our South Minneapolis Spanish speakers.

 He is risen.  He is risen, indeed.  Happy Easter!

Iconically

 I'm guessing this was my dad's car, although it doesn't look quite like the pictures of two other similar cars he owned.  Love those old Oldsmobiles! 

The car is parked in front of my mom's childhood church.  In later years, the church built a new facility and this church building was used as the town hall instead, until two women burned it down in 2007 to cover up a botched robbery.

And here is one of my mom's uncles, checking out what's under the hood.  He was a preacher and married my parents.

People have been decorating with candy canes for ages.  This stockpile was waiting to garnish a Christmas tree.  As seen in 2014.  ~Celebrating 31 days of Christmas

Worshipfully

Great praise time in church today.

Charity

I've been looking through old photos a lot lately.  Here's my husband back in 1986, passing out pledge balloons in church for a ceiling remodeling project.  Note the missing ceiling tiles.  It was always fun when one would fall down during the service.

I hadn't really planned on taking pics at the Good Friday service at church this evening, but it just sort of happened.  If I had planned it, I could have adjusted for movement, but I actually like the way this turned out.  Great service.  Looking forward to Easter Sunday.
