Easter '06

This past weekend was quite a whirlwind. Now that I think back over everything that happened it all seems a little blurry.

We probably had more people on campus this past Sunday than ever before. The Lord was so very good to us. Friday night we had a community Good Friday service. There were 6 churches in all that participated. We had a mass choir and our orchestra played as well. It was a tremendous time of fellowship and remembrance. Each pastor spoke on the subject "The Cross Through The Eyes Of.... and each one inserted a person that witnessed the crucifixion. John, Mary, The Forgiven Thief, Peter, The Centurion & Jesus.

On Sunday we had three services. The first service had 400-500 people in it. The 2nd service probably had 1,200 and the third was standing room only with probably 1,400 people. We had over 400 preschoolers here! That's more than a lot of churches I know. We had a full choir & orchestra for each service. I was so proud of our folks that came and sang and played. They really gave a lot of themselves. I am a blessed man to be associated with such incredible people. They have become such a big part of my life and I love them dearly.

Next Sunday night our Senior Adult choir is presenting a musical entitled "Homeward Bound" It's about a church group that goes to the ballgame and "Jim" comes to know the Lord. It's a fun piece and they are so excited about doing it.

Back to the salt mines. Have a great day. <><
