Celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior for the first time as a new church was special to say the least. Over the past few weeks, God has been doing some remarkable things that led us to believe that even greater things were in store during Easter. Here are some highlights:
-On Saturday, we held our first annual Easter Egg Drop. We realize that there are very few churches in our community that do outreach events at Easter for children in the community, so we dropped thousands of prize filled eggs out of a hot air balloon onto the football field of Berea High School. We had a goal of having 500 people show up, and God multiply that by having over 1,000 people in attendance! Check out the video.
-We gave away over 600 drinks, 20 pizzas, 500 bags of chips, and 450 packs of Chicfila nuggets.
- We had 62 volunteers from OTHER churches come to help serve our community. A HUGE thank you to our partners at Renewal Church, Tapestry Church, Revolution Church, and Anderson Mill Road Baptist Church. It is awesome to see churches work TOGETHER as ONE BODY instead of competing against each other! When we become Kingdom-minded, we see Kingdom differences!
-We had 7 new families attend service at Radiant as a result of the Egg Drop.
- Easter Sunday was our highest attendance in the adult service with a total of 232. While that is a great number for a church that is only 7 months old, that still means that thousands of people in the 29617 zip code were not there. Keep inviting!
- We broke through our 60 barrier and finally had over 70 in Radiant Kids!
- More LIFE CHANGE took place! It is always good to see the prodigal son come home!
- We had baptism to celebrate the transformation of 4 more people!
Can you imagine what Easter 2011 will be like?
