Well this is the long awaited week for many pastors and churches.   It’s Easter week.  Lot’s of planning and anticipation for the big day.  We have a great weekend in store for those attending starting with Good Friday and ending with Sunday’s a coming!  But there is a lot of preparation that goes into everything.  Countless meetings from creative meeting to staff meetings to tech. and set design meetings.  So many meetings enough to make your head spin.  I have already started my message today because believe it or not it is harder to preach a 30 minute message then it is to preach a 45 minute message.  I will preach the same message 4 times that will inevitably be way different in the last service then the first one and I have to find a new way to give all of the Creesters a hard time again this year.   Then I have to go shopping to find that one Easter shirt that my wife won’t be embarrased to be seen with me in. 
If you have never been to our Good Friday service you are really missing out.  I would love to spoil the surprise but it would kill all of the hard work that has gone into it.   For Easter Sunday make sure you decide ahead of time which one of the four services to attend and get there early otherwise you might not find a seat.  We are going to have the service inside this year because we have almost been rained out two years and running.  Plus you can’t do any of the media stuff outside and that is one of the things we do best here.  So have a great week anticipating the weekend and I will plan to see you at a service this Friday and Saturday or Sunday.
