Thank you for an extraordinary weekend celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus! Over the course of the weekend, from Thursday to Sunday, we welcomed over 1300 people in-person and around 370 online. Our hope and prayer for Easter was that many will come to believe, that we'll grow in what we believe, and all will be spurred onto to share what we believe. It was a joy to welcome many visitors, many friends and family who don’t yet believe, and some incredible stories of who came along and the conversations afterwards. Please be praying that these gospel seeds planted will take root in people's hearts and lives, especially that people won't leave the claims of Easter unexamined and come to respond to Jesus by putting their faith in him.

It was a joy to see how God drew together extraordinary creativity and faithful service to give many people opportunities to hear, respond, and share the gospel. Over 100 people served across hundreds of roles over the weekend. Many have shared their gratitude for everyone who enabled our gatherings as God's people to rejoice in the death and resurrection of our Lord. So thank you!
