Palm Sunday morning found us out at the Cays. That evening we were at Mizpah Methodist on Utila itself. Monday through Saturday we had prayer meeting from 6:00 - 7:00a.m. each day. No Maundy Thursday service (Jill and I both missed having that) but with two service on Good Friday I wasn't up to scheduling one.
Good Friday morning's 10:30 service had the attendance of a typical Sunday morning, 30 or so present. The 7:00p.m. Love Feast had excellent attendance, with lots of folks from the Church of God and even a couple from the Baptist Church. I'd never done a Love Feast before but followed the UMC Book of Worship and information gathered on what had been done in years past.

Easter Sunrise Service is held each year at 5:00a.m. (the sun sure does rise early here) on the bridge. This is a joint service between the Methodist Church and the Church of God. Brother Wilson Howell preached it this year. Some 75 people came out for the service. |
| The sun did not disappoint. It came up as Brother Wilson preached. |  |
Jill and I left for the Cays at 8:15 for the10:00 service and were home by noon. I was M.C. for a special Sunday School Easter program at 2:30. Then evening service at 7:00. We were tired by the end of Easter Sunday but happy to have so fully celebrated the resurrection of Christ.
