As in the past several years, NHCC sponsored a community Easter egg hunt prior to worship. Here Ken welcomes the community.  Look carefully and you can spot some "hidden" eggs.

Some were eager to find as many as possible while others examined the eggs.

Some of the eggs were better hidden than others.

A welcome innovation on this overcast, slightly raw day was hot coffee for the adults.

The worship service included all the usual elements.  Here Ken welcomes the crowd.

And here Tony reads one of the Scripture passages.

There were Easter hymns.

As always at NHCC, Easter worship included Holy Communion.  Here Ken blesses the bread.

Here the fruit of the vine is served to the congregation. (We use grape juice so all may participate, and gluten-free bread is always available.)

Music is always an important part of Easter worship, as indeed of almost all our worship services.  The choir was accompanied by trumpets as well as our organ.

The delightful trumpet soloists, Ross Hill and Christine Fawson, were back. They have played at the last few NHCC Easter servicese.

After worship, we had refreshments and conversation in the Parlor.  The cake went fast!

Some people were still checking out the contents of the eggs, but we can see this fellow hadn't neglected the cake.

There was time for conversation, but some people were still interested in the food..
