It goes without saying that Easter is the most joyful Sunday of our Christian year. Unless, of course, you’re herding toddlers, teenagers, or turtles to church on what is ALSO the busiest and most crowded Sunday morning of the year. But stress no more! By following these simple guidelines, your First Church Easter Sunday morn will be a basket of bliss!

Who is our neighbor? What is God calling us to do?
