Sorry to adjust the words of an old nursery rhyme, I am not really anxious for the rain to come again for a long, long time. I always think of my brother who lives in Ward Cove, Alaska, an area a few miles beyond Ketchikan. The average rainfall there is approximately 150 inches per year. We visited there when our children were young and saw one visit when the rain continuously poured down, the second visit was just the opposite…it was chilly but the sun decided to shine, no rain came down. A large populace of people were extremely excited and joked with us about bringing Cali- fornia sun to them that lasted for about nine days. A huge number of Ketchikan cit- izens raced to the sands that led to the ocean. Many actually ran into the waves in swimming gear. I hud- dled under my woolen cape and watched the fun as I kept warm. The sun was out but it was cold! Ketchikan has been known to host up to 196 inches of rain. So why should we complain? Yes the possibility to enjoy sprouting flowers is based on the saying that April showers bring May flowers. So far I have some roses, iris, tulips and even a small area of California poppies bloom- ing. I am grateful for the vision of these lovely flowers and am looking forward to seeing more here in the valley. The mountains will have to warm up and melt the snow before flowers can be seen. I planted about fifty irises near our mountain cabin and hope that they will come up after the snow clears. Maundy Thursday ser- vices have been held previ- ously on the last Thursday before Easter, commemo- rating the Last Supper when Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. The cere- mony is often called the Eucharist with the meaning of Maundy being that we should love one another. Good Friday is celebrated on Friday April 23, this year; it is usually held at 12:15 midday. This service recognizes Jesus’ death on the cross with prayer and medita- tion. Carolyn Barber The celebration of the resurrec- tion of Christ arrives this Sunday; Easter is on Sunday the 24th of April this year. The Presbyterian Church celebrates this special day each year. Those attending bring a beautiful variety of flowers which are placed on a wooden cross at the front of the sanctuary. For those of us who are early risers the Presby- terian Church will offer an Easter Sunrise Service at 6 a.m. at Ide Adobe Park. Those attending are reminded to bring lawn chairs and blankets so they can comfortably participate in the Sunrise Service. Breakfast will be served in the church fellowship hall following the early morning service. On Easter Sunday the resurrec- tion of Christ is celebrated. Beauti- ful white lilies decorate churches and homes. Easter eggs are special, families and friends through out the world gather together to observe this joyful day of the Resurrection of Christ Jesus. The follow- ing song was written by Charles Wesley who was both a priest of the Church of England and a Methodist evangelical preacher. This beautiful song is heard resonating throughout the world on Easter. Easter Hymn Alleluia Alleluia! Alleluia! By Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hurcar@yahoo.com.
