Easter Services

We had great Easter services here at Englewood on Sunday. Here are some highlights:

• Many salvations in both services (thank you prayer partners, nursery volunteers, Kids Church team, greeters, etc.)


• The stage, lighting, sound, etc. looked awesome


• The worship team & band looked great and did a tremendous job


• Thank you to Debbie Wallen and everyone who helped with stage/sermon series props


• Fantastic job by Pastor Ryan Elrod, Jake Ganote, and everyone who helped with the mini-drama/video we did at the conclusion of the services. About a month ago, I asked Pastor Ryan to find us a song that talked about "the door" or "the open door". He couldn't find one....so he wrote one! It was perfect and exactly what I was looking for.


• Kicked off "The Door" sermon series and I felt like it went well.


• Both Eastpoint Family Church and Turning Point Church had great Easter services and Egg Hunts! God was moving all over KC.


• On Saturday, Braeden & I checked out a city-wide egg hunt called Easter in Independence put on by a new friend of mine, Jason Allen, with LifeConnection Church. They are a brand new church (less than 2 months) that meets at Bingham Middle School. Read here about how they did it with 20,000 eggs!

Pray for me this week as I speak Wednesday night at New Life Church in Oak Grove (Pastor Claude Cowan speaks at Englewood Wed. night), meet with our board of directors Thursday night, study for part 2 of "The Door" series, and go to my son Joe's first baseball tournament for his new team this weekend. I'm also looking forward to working at our Dream Center Sunday afternoon and speaking at Eastpoint Family Church Sunday evening. And I'll be rooting the 'Hawks on in the NCAA tournament.
