EASTER SUNDAY IN MALAWI
By Jackie Davies & Brian Edwards
On Easter Sunday morning 12 members of the team attented the University of Malawi Interdenominational Christian Council service. When we arrived the singing had begun as a call of welcome.
A youth leader led us into the spirit of Easter Sunday with the resurrection of Christ with the singing of He Lives, How Great Thou Art and Shine Jesus Shine. Their joy radiated from their faces. We were moved to join them in song, to clap and sway with the music.
We observed that at one point during the service each person recited their own prayer. At first it was disorienting. When we realized that each person was offering a prayer personal to them. It was quite moving.
We had communion with a wafer and a small sip of juice to represent the body and blood.
As we filed out to the sunshine we were greeted by the pastor and members of the choir who thanked us for attending and gathered for pictures. It was a wonderfull start to a bright and suuny day.

Hi Jackie and gang, Thinking of you at Easter and sharing from afar the enjoyment you must have fulfilling the Rotary spirit of service above self. The people you are sharing life with look amazing from the photos. Enjoy the love.
