03/31/2002 Entry: "Easter Sunday"

I'm feeling a bit fuddled. Last night I shared in "celebrating" (can that really be the right word?) an Easter Vigil, and though I'm now as tired as I can ever remember being it was for me a very blessed time. We begin at10:00pm yesterday with an act of worship, and continued through the night in prayer and fellowship. We gathered at midnight, 2(3)am and 5am and in between some prayed, some watched a video, some had tea & toast in the kitchen. Some did all of the above. At 6:45am we gathered on the beach in Swansea Bay, and beneath a leaden sky we celebrated our Saviour's resurrection in song, prayer, Bible reading and (brief) preaching by my friend Kim Fabricius. We met again in church for breakfast before celebrating the first of 2 services of Holy Communion. It was a joyful night and I'm already looking forward to repeating the experience next year.
