What a blessing we experienced on Easter weekend! The Easter Family Event on Saturday allowed us to minister to our young families and other families in our community. We had a great team of people serving during the event from telling the true Easter story, to “hiding” the eggs, to crafts, to the slide, and, of course, eating! What a great collection of eggs and candy! Thank you, Springdale for your heart of service to our community and church.
Easter Day was great, as well. We had a super crowd at the Sonrise service. It was so special to be back out in the courtyard as the sun came up, celebrating that the tomb was empty on that first Easter Sunday and still is empty today! The Crew did a super job cooking breakfast and the Fellowship Hall was the fullest it has been in over a year! The Morning Worship Service was a blessing! The congregation just kept coming in, both members and guests. Some came by themselves and others had large family groups, but all came to worship our risen Savior! It was a great day of worship and also a great reminder of how important it is to gather as believers to draw our minds and hearts to God. We are also thankful for the many others who worshipped with us through Facebook, whether on Sunday morning or some other day of the week. God was worshipped and honored!
Now, excitement is building with attendance on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. The Choir is back in leading in worship. The Youth have a fresh set of energy through service and leadership. The Children have had the largest crowds coming. The calendar is being used. VBS is set. The Youth Summer Camp and World Changers are scheduled. God is moving and we have to seek Him and join Him where He is working and rejoice in His love and purposes in our lives. Church is a great place to experience His plans, both individually and as a congregation.
Springdale Baptist is a great place to experience our Lord and Savior!
I love being your pastor, Tommy
