We dressed up a little more than usual this morning, partly out of Easter tradition and partly because it was the first day cool enough to wear long sleeves in quite some time. When we arrived at church we found that the attire was quite casual, not surprising since evangelicals here downplay Easter to avoid appearing anything like the Catholics who make a big deal out of Easter (or at least Good Friday). Kind of sad considering Easter is the celebration of the core of Christianity.
It was a unique service however. Up front was a TV which of course led us to believe we would be watching something related to Easter. "Oh good, at least we are going to do something Eastery" we thought. The movie: Noah's Ark. The rabbits in the ark we're even pink or made of chocolate (not that rabbits really have anything to do with Easter)! After the movie we were then quizzed on Moses and the events leading up to the Exodus. How's that for an eclectic service!
