It was so good to see so many of you in worship. Many came back for the first time since the Pandemic, others came outside and worshipped in chairs and blankets on the grass, and still others joined us for worship online.

While we will not have our final totals yet, over 550 people celebrated the Resurrection with us which is very exciting!

Many people who I spoke with shared that being back in the sanctuary felt like the return to normal they had been eagerly anticipating. I do know that there was a great energy all over our campus throughout the morning.

This Sunday, we are returning to our normal service times of 8:00AM, 9:3AM, and 11:00AM on campus. This is an exciting step forward for our church. While we are opening up more opportunities to worship in-person, we are keeping our online worship service at 11:00AM on Facebook and YouTube. These online services have been our lifeline through the past year, and they continue to be a place where we gather each week. If you are not feeling ready to come back in-person, I would encourage you to set an alarm and join us for our live service on Facebook. The habit of worshipping at a set time with your church family is an important one. While you can see the comments later on our Community Feed, it is such a special worship experience to see the prayers and reactions pop up in real time and to be able and engage with one another in that way.

Whether you are with us on campus or online, I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday as we continue the Easter celebration together!
