Final Thoughts on Easter…

I guess I came across as disappointed yesterday in my post about our Easter service according to many of the emails I got fro you guys.
I DID NOT mean to come across that way at all. Easter was awesome! It was just a different type of “BIG” service for us. Normally we have pulled out so many stops that the next week those returning visitors felt we tricked them.

So this year we decided not to do that. We did some pretty cool things but we wanted people returning the next week to see the same thing they saw on Easter. So it was just a different feeling to me.

I also think we have gotten to a point where our typical Sunday service is pretty dang good, so it is hard to do much more then that on a big day. That was not the case last year. Now we do a run through every week, we do a lot of video, lighting, smoke, etc. every Sunday so doing a big day is a normal thing.

Yesterday was AWESOME!
I have never seen our volunteers step up like they did, they are awesome!
The theatre looked so good, (I will post pictures as soon as I get them)
We had tons of visitors and our attendance almost doubled.
Final count was 724!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought we would anywhere near that 20 months in.

AND most important, several people accepted Christ (still trying to follow up on the exact count).

God is awesome…now we got to do it again in 6 days.
