The attendees at Gaines Carlton sang “We Welcome Glad Easter,” “The Old Rugged Cross,” and “Because He Lives.”
These young people performed a drama, “And Now He’s Gone.” The participants include Clara Bergeman, Madalyn Ashbery, Brody Collyer, Olivia Andrews, Lindsay Crawford, Kelsey Crawford, Owen Collyer and Mallory Ashbery.
