Sunday review

I love my church! Every Sunday I am surrounded by hundreds of passionate people that show up ready to worship God. It is awesome. Authentic worship knows no boundaries--- it transcends economic differences, racial differences, or age differences. On any given Sunday we have people that come from every conceivable background that come together for the sole purpose of lifting up the name of Jesus!

* Our worship team keeps raising the bar. If anyone can sit through a Foothills worship set and not be moved, there is something wrong with them. Seriously.

* It was the beginning of Spring Break weekend, and although the attendance was slightly down, it did not have an effect on the excitement level of the people.

* We wrapped up the Colossians series (it took a while!). What a fantastic book of the Bible for a church to study together. So solid.

* We handed out invite cards for Easter Sunday. One person asked if they could have 300 to give out! I got a text today from someone who said that the invite cards were all over the plant that they worked at!

* We gave out tons of free Easter tickets. The 8:00am service still has plenty of room, so if you are scheduled to serve next Sunday, it would be helpful if you could attend that service. The reason is, that the 9:30am and 11:15am are nearly full, and we KNOW that there will be lots of people that will show up that do not have a ticket, so let's make sure we have extra room.

* Our staff has been preparing for months for the Easter services and they will be the best services that we have ever done. You do not want to miss!

* The worship team tells me that there will be something for everyone. There is a rumor that we will have everything from Classic rock to rap. Yes, this will be Foothills at its best. Could This Be Church?

* Please bring your friends that do not know Jesus. My message will focus on 3 post-resurrection events that will change our lives!

* Come prepared to CELEBRATE! After all Easter is the reason to celebrate.

* One last thing. I want to invite you to come to the church Tuesday through Thursday any time from 9:00am until 6:00pm to pray for our Easter services. Just stop by the office and someone will make sure the auditorium will be unlocked. All of our staff will be praying over every seat in the auditorium on Thursday from 9:00am until 9:30am. We would love to have you join us then.
