Morley Update #14

Everyone,

Christos Anesti! That is the traditional greeting at Easter in Greece. It means Christ is risen. The reply is Alithos Anesti! Which meany Truly He has risen. Easter is perhaps the biggest holiday in Greece. The stores will be closed for 4 days. At midnight on Easter morning there will be huge displays of fireworks. The city is filled with light and celebration.

We had our Easter outreach for Farsi speakers on Saturday and will have one for Arabic speakers on Thursday. I headed up a puppet show about a Caterpillar who changes into a butterfly. We then have a speaker, a meal and then the kids do a craft. It is a lot of fun.

I spent the last few days whenever I had free time which included staying up until 2:30 am getting a couple of videos done for a team prayer day we are having today. It took me a long time because I had not done this type of thing before and it took me a while to figure it out.

Our Easter plans are to have our friend doctor "S" over on Saturday to see the Jesus film in preparation for Easter. Then we will have some people in on Saturday evening and go to the church down the street at midnight for the lighting of the candles and the fireworks. Then we want to take Dr. "S" with us to the sunrise service on Filopappou hill overlooking the Acropolis. We also want to go to the Easter service at our church. I am sure we will need a nap in the afternoon.

We will not have Greek classes for a week because of the Easter holiday. I need to close and get ready for today. Sorry this is a day late but as you can see we have been busy. We are busy but happy and are so grateful to all of you for allowing us to do this work. We love you - have a wonderful Easter - CHRIST IS RISEN - HE HAS TRULY RISEN!
