Easter Review
Easter and Christmas are like the Super Bowl Sunday(s) for churches. This last weekend was our Super Bowl. Every year our church does something for Easter and Christmas. Last year we had a retired news anchor tell the story of Jesus’ crucifixion. I went last year and enjoyed it however this year we totally blew it away. This year we did a re-enactment of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. The drama was similar to The Passion but not nearly as bloody. If you haven’t seen The Passion, go see it. Our volunteers who took part of the re-enactment did an excellent job. Combine their outstanding performance and our sound/lighting/cameras and you felt like you were right there. I volunteer in the back (cameras/directing) and wasn’t able to see it on our IMags (very very large screens) however watching it while directing it was powerful enough.
Our church sanctuary can hold 3,500 people and we still have the old sanctuary that can hold roughly 450 people when the back end is blocked off, which it was. Every seat was full with people standing along the walls watching the service via the TV’s. Take those numbers and multiply it by the 4 services that we had and you get over 16,000 people!!! Now that’s a lot of people. To make things even better, before the Sunday service we were told that over 85 people received Christ into their lives and who knows how many will follow. Praise God!
A lot of my friends and family have asked me how the church is going to top that service and I honestly don’t know. I do know that God’s will be done and I’ll continue to help whenever and however I can.
