The services began at 6:45 am and the sun rose at 7:05. It was sooooo early, but sooooo beautiful. God sure knew what he was doing when he created this world for us. He loved us so much that He died for us!

A cross was erected in the sand, right in front of the steps leading to the beach from the boardwalk. Many came from Ocean Resorts and the surrounding condos.

A trumpeter started the service. A keyboard was set up on the beach for music and sound equipment made it easy for everyone to hear. The thunder of the waves in the background was loud!

Jack played a solo on his stringed instrument (I can't remember what it is called) and he was accompanied by himself on the piano which was pre-recorded and put on CD. Also a few sang solos. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-sW4t4UJoDmVQh4VMQ9gdS-zMKbJ5o0kze3RmOwjRm6HM5jJDoYnz5s-kSeo46wYPjvcxpCp1-K3eDUQO-54jQag9dIMKCiPA0dMcc2jFjQI2Cs3QfMQ_mCoEjteUpTD2XkNa/s320/singers.jpg)

As Delton was giving the message, the sun was rising behind him. WHAT A SIGHT! GLORIOUS!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuSB1fbB2Tu8xf71oA2tzA2K-IuDtj9tbrE7K-_AtkuLKFuZMNTCB5cp379lSDGbbqfjHCIh2X018shZXuioo3bkOItvL6KsZ6YkT5qI9M9bzAnaGo988Vk1DoY4GWzO3TWI_M/s320/sun+coming+up.jpg)
After the service was over, everyone was invited to the poolside patio for coffee, juice, donuts and more.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpi6ZcrPX1uMrZba3I9WZNq5zksScx_VDugr8FrA-Ej0LUbYaQbyOSF8IjmVhViBbBmp4n6Q2MnlmrQrA2Dl12iUhyGTd0zHxdFmTAHRV_TESIjMNMfmrdz-h5cvSVzizE5rpd/s320/cross+from+boardwalk.jpg)
The cross was left in the sand all day. As people walked the beach, swam and sat in their beach chairs, the cross stood brightly in view as a reminder of what Easter means to all of us.
