Mardi Gras

In our church, we celebrate Mardi Gras on the previous Sunday.  Transfiguration is our last burst of joy before the solemnity of Lent.  The kids in Sunday School made "Alleluia" banners from felt and glitter, and carried them out of the sanctuary.  We won't see the banners or hear the word "Alleluia" again until Easter Sunday.

Today in the chapel service for the nursery school kids, we also carried out the banners and bid farewell to "Alleluia."  The children placed their "Alleluias" in a basket, and as they returned to their classrooms, some of them shyly waved goodbye to the banners.  Very endearing!
