So I wasn't able to actually be in Albemarle for Easter this year due to the fact University Walk was open on today...yes on Easter Sunday. Anyway, I was able to celebrate Easter with one of my roomies, Meghan. We went to West Cabarus Church which is right down the road from Concord Mills. It was so good to be in a church on Easter Sunday and get to share it with some of my buddies.
I will admit though, my heart is a little sad about the fact I couldn't be in Albemarle for Easter. To me, Albemarle is most beautiful right around spring, and my church is always decorated so beautifully at Easter. One of my favorite traditions began a few years ago when we stopped ordering the lilies that every church does in honor or memory of a loved one. Anyway, our flower committee started buying fresh cut flowers, and handing them out to each church member as they came into the sanctuary on Easter Sunday morning. At the front of the church is located a wooden cross with chicken wire wrapped around it. At a certain point during the service, everyone goes to the front and puts their flowers in the chicken wire and adorns the cross with their flowers. The cross ends up being absolutely beautiful, and it has just become my most favorite thing we do to celebrate Easter at our church.
