Old Town Easter

Our new church home, Faith Community Church, holds its services at 4:30 in the afternoon. So, on Easter morning, since the weather was especially glorious, we decided to visit St. Michael's church (see earlier post) in town for a traditional Easter Lutheran service.

Now this is a real church key!! You can get an idea of the size of this key by comparing it to the tip of Tom's shoe in the lower left of the photo.




When the service ended, we noticed a different sort of parishoner approaching the altar. We have heard of Easter services where they release white doves, but grey pigeons??


This little fellow (or gal) seemed to be right at home- perhaps expecting to share in communion?

The only thing lacking were the lilies - I have not seen a single Easter lily this season.
