As I mentioned a couple of days ago our Easter services were incredible. We had a record attendance of 1,670. Easter was only the second time we had 4 services (Christmas eve/ Christmas day was the other). The big difference was that all 4 services were on Sunday morning. The service times were: 7:15, 8:30, 9:45, 11:15am.
We were curious to see if anyone would actually attend our 7:15am sunrise service. We figured the best way to insure that people would show up that early was to bribe them. So in addition to our normal healthy, low calorie snacks (Donuts!), we decided to add another health conscious food----sausage biscuits! If you've never been in the south, let me explain something to you; sausage biscuits are a rednecks surf and turf. It is fine cuisine.
It seems to have worked. Here are the breakdowns for the times:
7:15 -- 212 in attendance
8:30 -- 297 in attendance
9:45 -- 604 in attendance
11:15 -- 557 in attendance
Someone asked me if speaking at 4 services was difficult. To tell you the truth, it was really no different than doing 3 (our normal). The only thing that is kind of wierd is when you can't remember if you said something in a service or not. They all sort of blend together in your mind.
