Good Friday

For Good Friday, there was a program put on by the Sunday School.  This means most of the church, as young and old attend Sunday School and particiapted in the program.  It was 4 hours long, but was the best Good Friday service we have been to. 
It started with worship and singing.  Then several people sang songs on their own followed by a skit of the Easter story and one other skit.
Some of the girls did a dance and there was a Grand March style show with the teens. 
Everyone had such a great time. 
The highlight was the Bible quizzing that all ages participated in as a celebration of what they learned in Sunday School.  It is truly amazing how much of the Bible these people memorize.  They take memorization very seriously.
Along with the quizzing, was the giving of the gifts that people from North America had purchased from the Haiti Arise gift catalogue as gifts over the Christmas season.  There were goats, chickens, school supplies, tools, rice, food packs, baby packs, soccer balls,etc.

Our family exchanged goats and food for Christmas gifts from the catalogue - here are some of the recipients of them. It was amazing to be here for this!
