Easter Family Service
April 8, 2007

In the family service, one of the first traditional ceremonies is the emptying of the "Alleluia Box" which has been kept closed throughout Lent:

The adult choir - "St. James' Singers" - is accompanied by the organ and a brass ensemble

Reading of the Gospel

The children are invited to sit around the altar for the Children's Sermon

After the sermon, the children are invited to pick up one of the "ALLELUIA" strips

The young singers

After the anthem and Eucharist, the recession begins .....

Then the flower decorated cross is taken to the front porch of the church

Happy Easter from the people of St. James' Episcopal Church
