Mardi Gras Sunday/LIFT
-
On Sunday, February 23 Plymouth celebrated Mardi Gras, and sang “Alleluia” for the last time before entering the season of Lent.
-
Rev. Eric Jackson preached on the Transfiguration of Jesus.
-
Elisa and Joshua Dekaney and members of Samba Laranja, the Brazilian Ensemble of Syracuse University’s Setnor School of Music, added some Latino exuberance to our celebration.
-
Samba Laranja led us out of the sanctuary and downstairs…
-
…for a sumptuous Mardi Gras feast.
-
And all engaged in LIFT (Living in Faith Together) where we explored the story of the transfiguration by acting it out.
-
See the cloud come over the Moses, Elijah and Jesus on the mountain!
-
Then we created masks that revealed rather than hid our true selves.
-
Folks of all ages…
-
… enjoyed this creative endeavor.
