This past week was full of celebrations for both Purim and Easter. At Temple Avodah, the congregation celebrated Purim by dressing up, dancing and eating after they read out the story. The First Presbyterian Church, meanwhile, held an “Easter Fun Day” on Sunday with a party where children decorated eggs and made crafts.
