I realize that Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday, and today is Sunday, but we had a Mardi Gras church service this morning. As far as I know, we've never done that before, so this is what was fun and different. First of all, the children paraded in with decorated crowns, and a few of them throwing plastic coins. Then the choir processed, continuing singing When the Saints Go Marching In. We were accompanied by a drum set, electric bass and trumpet.
In lieu of a sermon, we had three scripture readings, each with a short story added, and then the congregation sang. We got to rouse up some oldies such as Everything Is Beautiful and I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.
We were encouraged to wear the Mardi Gras colors: purple, gold and green, as well as any beads we might have.
