People brought wine, cupcakes, and flowers, which made for a festive occasion.

It wasn't a very churchy Easter for me, as it turns out. I was on duty at church, but at the side door where one hears and sees nothing of the service. I was originally optimistic that I could nip into the "overflow room" in the chapel where they'd set up a little audio-visual system and maybe catch a bit of the music or sermon. But when I went over there, well... yes, there was a system set up... a nice big screen, and a projector showing live video of the goings-on in the sanctuary. But no sound.
There were just a few people in the overflow room, and none of them complained about the lack of sound. There was a couple with a very small, fussy child they were tending to. There was a woman who was sitting there, silently wiping away tears (I am pretty sure she was not moved by our pastor's oratory). And there I was as well, thinking Uh oh! because messengers from the main sanctuary came bearing tidings that they were nearly at capacity in there, and I was pretty sure that the silent film in the chapel would not appeal to all audiences. Luckily there was no further overflow.
