Easter Weekend Wrap-Up

What an amazing weekend! The weather really kept us guessing on Saturday, but we continued to plow through set-up hoping and praying that the rain would break. Indeed it did! It wasn't sunny, but it wasn't raining either. The crowds came out, and 1900 Easter eggs and 300 hot dogs later, everyone had a great time!

Sunday, we had a wonderful turn out. A bunch of first-time visitors enjoyed the service along with our regular crowd. The message was "Conflict Resolution" - how Jesus resolved The conflict through His resurrection, and how we need to resolve our conflict with God by turning to Him with our love and obedience.

Saturday's event and yesterday's service were wonderful. No doubt. The point of all of this, though, is to help people begin a committed relationship with Jesus Christ. So, the real work begins this week with the follow-up and continues on for several more as folks who took that first step keep their eyes on Jesus one step at a time, one day at a time. It's like celebrating Easter every day!
