The Hope of Easter

In small groups, we and our classmates had our tutors over to our homes to celebrate and share about the Easter holiday.

We taught our tutors how to 染鸡蛋 (dye eggs). Both of these girls are new tutors this year, so it was their first time to dye eggs.




Getting creative!










I made sugar cookies and bunny-shaped breads that they decorated with icing.



Me, my current tutor, classmate Lauren, and a former tutor of mine


We shared the true story of Easter (in Chinese) using resurrection eggs and Chinese paper-cut images of the story. The two new girls did not know the story and were anxious to know more. The other tutors, a few of which are Sisters, were helpful with explanations.



Our Easter Party Group (minus Marty, the photographer, who took these great photos)


In other Easter festivities, the foreign believers in our city got together before Easter for a traditional Seder meal led by mine and Chip's small group.


And this photo is from Easter Sunday at the Chinese church. We were given boiled eggs with scriptures on them. How fun to share the hope of Easter with people experiencing it for the first time!
