Happy Easter, Visit House of Prayer

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/House%20of%20Prayer/128/128/37


I highly recommend catching a service at House of Prayer in Second Life for Easter.  I blogged it last year here: http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/2014/04/happy-easter.html




There are tons of great secular sims, hunts, bunny outfits etc in SL today so enjoy, but please consider the real reason for the season.  This church is a good opportunity for that.  There is even a Divine Art exhibit going on to enjoy there too besides a service. Enjoy and Happy Easter.

Happy Easter

Rev. Bret (Babailey) Resident leads the congregation in a really good service at God's House of Prayer in Second Life.  My sis Lexi tp'd me in before RL church a few weeks back and we sat through a Christian church service that was pretty typical of a RL service.  They have a beautiful church, Christian gallery, freebie area, and nice park. 


Visit their web site here: http://www.houseofprayer-sl.org/ for a schedule of services including Easter Sunday.  


When we visited I noted, Pastor Brett's profile states: "I was a Pastor in the United Methodist Church for 15 years.  I am currently attending and am active in a Full Gospel church.  I have been a Christian since the age of 22." He gave a dynamic sermon that day and I'm sure there will be something to offer over at House of Prayer for Easter Sunday, so if you can't make church RL, try it out in SL.


  Their web site says, "The House of Prayer is a Christian church in Second Life^®, a virtual reality. House of Prayer is a church where Christ is the head. We are a Bible believing fellowship of Christians who not only worship but serve our Lord in all ways. House of Prayer is place for individuals from all walks of life to come in and praise the lord in their own manner.  The church is accessible 24/7 and provides a safe haven for those that need to escape and spend some quiet time with God. House of Prayer is provided as a FREE place to be for those who wish to worship, fellowship, pray together!"






"And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. (Mark 16:2-7)" The Bible

Mardi Gras Kicks Off The Season Even in SL! Also-Happy Birthday Barbie!

I hit several Mardi Gras parties last night in SL!

Per Wikipedia: "The terms "Mardi Gras" (pronounced /ˈmɑrdiɡrɑː/), "Mardi Gras season", and "Carnival season",in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" (in ethnic English tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. .... Popular practices include wearing masks and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, sports competitions, parades, etc. Similar expressions to Mardi Gras appear in other European languages sharing the Christian tradition. In English, the day is called Shrove Tuesday, associated with the religious requirement for confession before Lent begins." New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States is notorius for ongoing Mardi Gras, as well as other specific areas around the world at this time or other times of the year.

Today, March 9th is Ash Wednesday. St. Patrick's Day is March 17, followed by the first day of spring March 20, then we have Palm Sunday April 17, Good Friday, April 22, and Easter April 24th. Second Life is sure to have, as usual, the annual wonderful celebrations, costumes, decorations, special events and sims associated with the upcoming spring holidays. I look forward to the many East egg hunts, and one of my favorite Christian sims, Eternal Creations, usually offers some wonderful events for the Christian holiday celebrations.

As a side note that is somewhat SL related Barbie Doll was introduced on this day in 1959(my av is kind of like Barbie to me) Happy Birthday Barbie! I usually have this picture on my SL RL photo section and it never ceases to amaze me that occasionally someone will ask if that is really a picture of me! Haha.. anyway.. have a good day!

Easter 2010

Second Life has a lot to offer during the Easter season with many vendors providing Easter egg hunts with free prizes, etc., but one sim that always seems to stand out for great seasonal fun is in Venice Isle, this season called Easter Spring Town, by my friend Laura Libery. Laura, who is very generous and a lot of fun, also likes to play with her customers on her sims. Her Easter sim is filled with amazing products in cute huts plus an abundance of free fun items to have and play with. I have visited several times and have brought in friends who also stay and enjoy the fun... as seen in the attached video I made. Laura recently had a huge St. Patricks day set up and I'm looking forward to her Fourth Of July sim she is planning. For some great home or sim decorating and entertaining and a lot of fun be sure to check this one out. Some of her products included play, religious, food, home and sim deco., gifts, and other lines. Some of the sim play includes, peep races/free peep riders, egg dipping/ free egg costumes, free bouncy riders, bunny hop, Easter egg hunt with great prizes, jelly bean dancers, and more. Don't miss out! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Venice%20Isle/152/119/972
