Texans Egg-static Over Choice of Two Different Easter Egg Hunts in Austin

"Easter eggs? Where?"


Holy Word will be holding its annual outdoor Easter sunrise service at Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms The farm, situated on eighty acres on scenic Walnut Creek in northeast Austin, is a living history museum that preserves the cultural heritage of early Texas settlers.

We expect over 800 people to attend the Easter sunrise service, consisting of Bible readings, music, and an Easter message preached by Pastor Donald Patterson. The service begins at 7:00 am. Feel free to stay after the service to enjoy the beautiful scenery as well as donuts and drinks. In case of rain, the service will be held at the church.

There will be an Easter Egg hunt for children through age 8 at Pioneer Farms at 8:15 am. A full breakfast will be served at the church beginning at 8:45 am in the Fellowship Hall. Following this will be an Easter festival service at church at 10:30 am.

In addition, Living Word is holding an Easter sunrise service in Marble Falls again this year.

We invite you to join us this Easter as we celebrate our Savior's resurrection. By rising from the dead, Jesus Christ completed the plan of salvation that gives us forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life in heaven. We want to share this good news with you as we join together to praise and worship our God.

GJ - The Easter egg hunt is missing from the Holy Word site.

But it is perhaps hinted at in the Church and Change website:

"Worship - Easter Sunrise Service in the Park

Holy Word Lutheran, Austin, TX
We have a service in the park with two weeks prior advertising Good attendance - mostly non-members. Service - Hymns, Prayers, Sermon, Solo, Offering, 2 Choirs

Patterson went to the latest Chicanery conference and shares his pagan ideas with them, but he would have us believe he is not working with them and for them!

"A crooked tie points to a crooked heart"?

Gee, thanks for adding to the discussion.

Sorry for the snark, but absolutely inane, idiotic comments such as these are the reason it is hard to take most commenters of this blog seriously. Most of the time, comments are petty and insulting for their own sake and do nothing to promote dialogue. [GJ - Unwarranted claim. The dumb, nasty, gratuitous comments went away with OpenID being use. There are some exceptions, like wistex's.]

It would be better if one actually made a point, no?

GJ - If Kudu Don Patterson is so proud of his Easter egg hunt that he set up a separate website to promote it, then why not admit it on his church blog and in other announcements? Perhaps he thought no one knew how to use Google.

WELS Bunnies Muliply in Texas as Ichabod Eggs On the Chicaneries

Patterson's Easter egg hunt was last year,
with no published evidence about it this year.
Team Ichabod is waiting for an official denial,
to prove it is happening again.

Are WELS congregations in Texas so devoid of the Gospel that they need live bunnies and an Easter egg hunt to draw visitors?

Pastors like Patterson and Doebler obviously trust live bunnies and an Easter egg hunt more than the Word when it comes to drawing visitors. The congregations fall in line and go along with it.

Spring in NW Arkansas: Daffodils Blooming in the Snow

I kelmed this from the Internet, but our yard looks like this tonight. The snow is falling steadily, the bird baths are freezing over, and the daffodils are just starting to bloom.

Here Come Doebler Cottontail, Hoppin' Down Chicanery's Trail

Doebler got a $20,000 grant for this?

Are WELS congregations in Texas so devoid of the Gospel that they need live bunnies and an Easter egg hunt to draw visitors?

Kudu Don Patterson did this last year, so I borrowed the bunny photo and replaced Dom Perignon's face with Doebler's.

WELS Church Lady says Doebler is confessional. If Doebler is a confessional Lutheran pastor, then Glaeske is a conservative DP.

For all you missionaries looking for a call, any call, and all the congregations and schools that are out of money - rent a bunny suit. The grant-givers love a touch of fleece.

I am sure the ELS and WELS boards of doctrine will jump on this like hobos on a hotdog.
