April is a time to celebrate spring, hope and Easter, which opens the month this weekend.
The Mt. Tabor Builders staff is excited for the first full month of spring. The grass is greening up and the flowers are starting to bloom. The jackets will soon go away and short sleeves will be the look as temperatures heat up and stay up throughout the season. It’s a great time to plan for what the rest of the year will look like. Some are thinking about getting away, while some are thinking how to make staying put a little better. If that’s you and you’re looking to upgrade your home, meet with a building professional soon.

The Easter holiday concludes the “Passion of Christ,” a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent—a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and sacrifice—and ends with Holy Week, which includes Maundy Thursday (the celebration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his 12 Apostles); Good Friday (on which Jesus’ death is observed); and Easter Sunday, also known as Resurrection Sunday.
