Easter in the Park

Yeah I know..... this post is a week old but I want to take the time to talk about our Easter in the Park Service last Sunday.  I want to list several reason we did it in the park.

1.  Space -- You don't have to worry about running out of that.
2.  People -- We had all types of religions (including a Muslim that would never step foot in a church actually heard the gospel probably for the very first time).
3.  Community -- Our vision is to connect our community to Christ.  Many times we are good church people asking the communities to come to our churches but it is very difficult to take the church to the community.  
4.  Baptism -- we have a portable baptismal pool so it pretty sweet dunking outside. 
5.  Weather -- it's Vegas :) and we can because the weather was 75 degrees.

We had over 320 people there -- the band rock it -- the egg hunt was insane -- the food was delicious -- the message was the jam (my sermon :)) -- LIFESONGers are the greatest church with such servant hearts to do things with excellence.  I am proud of you and deeply love all of you.
