Yesterday was Easter Sunday and we headed to church where it was packed to overflowing with people, a great sign that things can be quite alive in the church these days!
It is however, with sadness that we tell you all that Bryan's grandpa (Carruthers) passed away on Friday. It was short, but not so short that people didn't get to say their goodbyes which was great. We are glad that he got to meet Christopher last year, and that he's met both the Friesen girls as well. He lived a long and happy life, and we are obviously sad to see him go, but know he has made it to a better place, one where there is no pain.
Easter is a season for hope, a time when we are reminded that Jesus has beaten death. Let's keep ourselves in the hope that He brings at this time.
