It's that time again! Lent begins on Wednesday and so on Sunday we said goodbye to our old friend "Alleluia." At Christ Church, we refrain from using this word of celebration throughout the more sober season of Lent and find that it makes our Easter "alleluias" all the more joyful.
During the recessional hymn, children gathered in the front hall to get ready!
The children processed up the aisle and lined up in front of the Church so that we could see the "alleluia."
Then Rev. Peter collected our butterflys and tucked them away in the sacristy. We won't see them again until Easter morning.
This year the "alleluia" we put away looked a little different than in the past. You can see pictures of last year's "Farewell to Alleluia!" and the final alleluia banner in other posts. We have something new planned for Easter morning this year! Stay tuned!
