Post Easter Thoughts

Easter is a huge day in the life of a believer and a church. We had a great day celebrating Jesus and enjoyed seeing so many gathered together for this purpose. Below are a few thoughts regarding our Easter at the Embassy.

Team EMC you Rock!!!!!

-The set up crew got there way early and were excited about getting the place ready for the day.
-The props and set design were amazing and for the first time the staff didn't have anything to do with it. Thanks Jeff, James & Katie.
-The egg drop with the fire department was hilarious....the kids loved it and went away with some serious swag (free stuff). I was stoked at which family got the $100 Grand prize.
-The guys from the Woodstock Fire Department did a great job!! Thanks
-The Cafe' team did a great job keeping up with everything on a busy, busy day.
-Our embassy kids team were off the hook. You guys are amazing week after week.
-Pastor Jared led us in an amazing time of worship & celebration.
-The band kicked the day off with the Foo Fighters song ". Hero" Ya'll nailed it!!!!
-My wife was in service with me and not in e-kids (thanks Lela for being such a great assistant to my wife)
-The photographers did a great job with getting the family photos taken (Thanks Jodi & Kimberly)
-Everyone that helped with the Easter egg drop set up were amazing. You guys braved the cold and put together a great event.
-Our superheroes and bunny were a big hit with the kids. Thanks for braving the cold especially in those tights. Oh and thanks for taking a hit for the team on Friday when you were handing invite cards out at the exit. They had the cops called on them, were flown the one finger peace sign four times, and told to do nasty things to themselves once, but people were there Sunday because of your effort. Thanks.
-All the tech guys really did a great job with lights, sound, and video.
-We broke another attendance record!
-I trust a lot of our guests will come back next week.
-I had a blast communicating on the subject of what Easter means in a new way. Jesus is the greatest hero ever!!!
-If Easter & Christmas are the only two sermons you hear a year no wonder you think church isn't for you. There is nothing like coming to a church for a few weeks and realizing how much the Bible talks not just about your hope for heaven and the condition of your soul, but about your relationships, marriage, health, dreams, goals, parenting, sex, and handling all sorts of everyday issues and desires.

I'm sure I missed saying thanks to someone, but what ever your role was yesterday it added into the mix to make one of the best days we have had as a church yet.
