Christ is risen! He is risen indeed. Easter morning at St. James was filled with people singing alleluia to our risen Lord Jesus. We hosted the Red Bank Community Sunrise Service this year at 6AM, and the pews were filled with our Christian brothers and sisters from here as well as the Red Bank Methodist and the Red Bank Baptist churches from across the street. Afterwards, we enjoyed an Easter breakfast together. 
The delicious meal of sausage, eggs, and toast was served by our Lutheran Men in Mission.
Then, at 10:30AM, we held a service of Holy Communion, where we welcomed a new member through the waters of baptism. What a glorious Easter morning we shared as we worshipped our Lord and remembered that first Easter day, when Jesus rose up from the dead in victory! Alleluia!

What a great time they had, as they loaded up their baskets with colorful, candy-filled eggs! 
Before setting out on their egg hunt, they were blessed to hear the music of the Hearts of Columbia choir. After the hunt, they got back together to enjoy some delicious refreshments together and to play with baby chicks, kittens, bunnies, fish, and tadpoles. What a fun way to anticipate our upcoming celebration of the crucified and risen Christ, who opens the tomb and brings new life into our graveyards as he defeats death forever! 
There was much reason to cheer, as they won the game 7-6! Go, St. James!
