Easter Weekend Update

There is only one word to describe the 2007 Easter weekend at Pocono Community Church - AWESOME.

Here's a recap of what God did through PCC:

1. Good Friday Egg Stuffing Party - Over 125 volunteered their time to stuff over 50,000 Easter Eggs with candy and prizes. Small groups and entire families came together at the Pocono Summit Fire Hall to tackle this enormous task. Thank you so much for giving of your time and energy to make the Eggstravaganza such a great success.

2. 2007 Eggstravaganza - Even 20 degree weather in the Pocono's couldn't keep the approximately 4000 people away from the 2007 Easter Eggstravaganza. What an awesome turn out on such a cold day. The petting zoo, huge inflatables, Pocono 500 race car, and lots of games were enjoyed by all the kids and families. What a sight to see the Easter Bunny arrive on the fire truck. Buddy the clown entertained everyone while also sharing the Gospel and the true meaning of Easter. Again, thanks to all the volunteers that came out and braved the weather and made a huge impact for the Kingdom.

3. Easter Sunday Services - This Easter PCC broke it's all-time holiday attendance with about 1400 people in its two services. What's even more exiting is the 60 people who gave their heart to Christ. The music and children's programs were terrific enjoyed by the 200 first-time guests.

I'm so excited about what God is doing at PCC! I look forward to leveraging this great momentum we are experiencing this spring for God's glory.
