"a hot and amazing Easter"
Sunday, March 23, 2008 Filed in: daily photos
so, Easter was
a-freakin'-mazing. i'm pretty much going to let the
pictures tell the story. what i will say is this...
- it was REALLY hot
- we had over 9,000 people show up (that's 2000 more than last year)
- the name ROCKHARBOR wasn't mentioned once from any stage (as we simply promote it as "OC Easter," it's not meant to promote us. we gave any visitors a list of local churches to choose from. ROCKHARBOR wasn't even first on that list. this was impressive to me.)
- we had nearly 1,000 kids
- the main service had an amazing "stomp" style number that told the story of salvation using no words (it was very moving)
- the kids service was held in a tent (we had stages on three sides and had a skit and worship on one stage, hosts on one and i taught on the other)
- we handed out thousands of free bottles of water and Krispy Kreme doughnuts
- services ended at 12.30 pm and, due to our ridiculously amazing staff and volunteers, we had the entire place torn down (including the main stages and the kid's tents) and packed up by 1.30 pm!!!
- these are just a few of the over 300 pictures i took
here are the pictures...
