Easter Update

This Easter weekend was nothing short of amazing. Here are some of the highlights:
  • The Friday Come and Go Communion was inspiring. Although we had 400+ people come to receive communion, it felt incredibly personal and intimate. Bekah and I really enjoyed connecting with singles, couples and entire families on a very personal level.
  • PCC set another Easter weekend attendance record with 2998 in attendance. Although we missed our miracle goal by only 2 people we are all incredibly pumped.
  • Saturday night service was crazy! We had almost 900 people showed up and over half the adults in the auditorium stood to receive Christ. Amazing!
  • Between the 5 weekend services, over 400 people received Christ. Miraculous!
  • I loved the Saturday night atmosphere. The crowd was early and full of energy. I think Saturday nights at PCC are going to be a huge success!
  • PCC gave a record non-building fund offering! What a great testimony of this church's generosity. Off the hook generous.
  • The creative worship arts team did an amazing job. The music, sounds lights and video was awe inspiring.
  • The Spanish service had almost 300 in attendance. Pastor Emilio and his dedicate team of volunteers did a phenomenal job. Also, 56 people gave their heart to Christ in that service alone. Wow! Yeah God.
  • A huge word of thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who served this Easter!!!
  • Also, thanks to all of you selfless PCC regular attenders who came to Saturday night and the 8:30 Sunday service to free up seats for guests. You are my heroes.
  • Please continue to invite your friends to come back this weekend to hear Daryl Strawberry's story of hope and healing. You don't want to miss it. Come early to get a good seat.
  • This weekend we are giving away over 1,000 gifts this weekend worth $4000 dollars including Sony Playstations 3s and Flat Screen TVs.
  • A huge thanks to all the volunteers that were in the office today doing follow up on hundreds of first time guests.
  • Don't forget tomorrow night is our First Tuesday prayer meeting. Please come out and celebrate with us all that God has done!
PCC it is such an honor to lead you and be your pastor. I'm truly humbled to be part of this great move of God in the Poconos. And here's the coolest thing - this is only the beginning. The best is yet to come. God has been revealing more and more of his vision for our church and I'm so excited about what the future holds.
