OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS!
Easter Sunday at Journey was SOOOO awesome and amazing! We had over 100 people there and were close to our goal number, and we probably would have been there if it wasn’t for Spring break! There were a couple of families not there and several college guys and even some kiddos. God is so awesome. We even had 2 families that told us they want to make Journey their church home JUST because of how we did the Easter service and that baptisms!!! I love how God works. He always works in better ways than we can ever imagine. The baptism service was amazing. One of our kiddos was baptized, as well as a close friend. I am so proud of both of them and so excited and happy for their decision. You can see in the faces they are changed, and it rocks!
JourneyKidz was good too. I was in the service, but there were several kids in there and they other team members had awesome game ideas and a great lesson time planned. After church we had an Easter EGG-stravaganza that was pretty fun too. We had inflatables! We had a giant obstacle course, giant slide and the moon bounce. The kids had a blast and it is so fun to see the smiles on their faces and them giggling and encouraging and loving their friends. We can learn so much from children it we allow ourselves. We also had, of course, eggs with candy. . .always a hit
So, I am so excited for Journey because I think this was a great day in the life of Journey Church! I know our pastor and his wife were pumped too, you could see it in their faces and it was SOOOO sweet. I love when church members are pumped up about something. I hope everyone else had a truly blessed Easter. What a wonderful day to celebrate in our lives as Christ-followers! Christ did the impossible, rose from the dead. . .just as he told us he would. Jesus is trustworthy, he always does as he says and never lets us down. I still am in awe he loved us so much he died for us so we could have a relationship with him. God Bless!
