Saturday of Easter weekend we spent outdoors in the glorious sunshine watching the Alyeska Ski Club members compete in a Giant Slalom race in Alaska. It was an unexpectedly beautiful day, we retired that night with sunburned faces.
Easter morning sunrise services were held on the mountain at the top of the Alyeska tram for a record crowd of 370 adults and lots of children. It was standing room only. The tram operated from 6:45AM until 10:00AM for free. Attending church surrounded by the beauty of the mountains was inspirational and awesome, indeed a fitting place to celebrate Easter.

Gorgeous Gail! What better way to celebrate our Lord than to stand in awe of His spectacular creation! How fun! You and Bob look great!
Hi Lianne! Good to hear from you…..we aren’t doing too bad for a couple of seniors
Gail
What a beautiful picture. You guys a lookin good. Must have been an awe inspiring service. Our Risen Christ and the mountains. What a combination.
Hi Carol, thanks! It was indeed. Gail
Gail, we have visited the top of that mountain several times and I am imagining how special that must have been to celebrate the joy of Easter and the new life and hope that is in Jesus’ resurrection, in those wonderful, majestic surroundings.
God bless, and love from a sunburnt country,
Noella
