8 Creative Things Churches Did For Easter

Friday, March 28, 2008

Here are eight pretty creative things churches around the country did for Easter that are worth checking out:

1. Gary Lamb and the folks at Revolution Church dropped 50,000 Easter eggs from a helicopter. Dude, it takes a real man to drop 50,000 eggs from a helicopter on four year olds. I love this idea! Check out the story and pictures.

2. Craig Groeschel and the folks at Lifechurch.tv handed out fortune cookies with a note inside of them inviting people to their new series starting on Easter called “The Warrior.” They placed huge barrels of these things outside and asked people to give them to their friends.

3. The funniest Easter video has to go to the video posted by Eric Bramlett and the folks at Community Christian in Naperville. It was the first installment of their series called "Losing My Religion" which started Easter Weekend. Check it out HERE.

4. A close second has to go to the video posted by Tony Morgan at New Spring Church promoting “The Man” series which began on Easter. Check it out HERE.

5. Travis Johnson and the crew at Life Point Church did a Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt (7-9pm) and had 7,000+ people show up. How creative is that idea? A moonlight Easter Egg Hunt!?

6. Perry Noble’s post “Signs that your church lacks vision” was challenging to read post-Easter and gave me a kick in the butt to get me thinking about next year.

7. Check out the things Granger Community Church had people hold in their hands during the service. HERE are the pics from Mark Beeson's blog.

8. Finally, here's one of the coolest things that happened this past Easter: Greg Surrat and the guys down at Seacoast Church started a new campus in one of the most crime-ridden areas of the country. Just goes to show that you can be on the edge with all the bells and whistles AND still get it as a disciple. HERE is the story.
