Easter Update

Easter at Pocono was simply amazing. Of all the great memories from yesterday, the one I will cherish the most is hanging out with the tear down team after the third service and just celebrating what God did in our midst. Some of these guys have been with with me from day one of this church plant and it was awesome to laugh and reminisce together.

Here are some Easter highlights:

1. Over 130 people committed their life to Christ in all of our three services.

2. We set a record holiday attendance with 1839 people. Of course, this is just a number. But every number represents a soul that matters to God. Every soul has a story.

3. Hundreds of PCC volunteers served in all the services. So many volunteered in our children's ministry area that we had to turn volunteers away. That's amazing.

4. The music team did a phenomenal job. The worship was awesome.

5. Our special guest Alvin Slaughter was incredible. He loved being with us and was just taken back by the diversity and size of a church meeting in a high school.

Thanks so much for making this Easter a special day. Because you prayed and invited your friends, God showed up and did a miracle. I'm so proud of you PCC! You are an awesome church family. Of course, the great success of Easter is what happens the Sunday after Easter. Please continue to reach out to your friends and invite them to come back next week. The best is yet to come!
