top ten reasons to be at NewPointe on Easter Sunday

As I typed the title line I was struck with this thought: Why do we refer to Easter as "Easter Sunday?" Isn't that a bit redundant? Are we trying to avoid confusing it with "Easter Thursday?" We say "Easter Sunday," don't we? It just hit me today as strange that we do that.

Okay, that was a rabbit trail. Sorry. Back to the top ten reasons to come to NewPointe on Easter:

10. No cantata. No choir. No organ music. (Actually that's three reasons...you always get more for your money at www.johnbunn.net).

9. This will be our first Easter in the new building. You don't want to be the only dork in your neighborhood who missed it, do you?

8. You don't have to worry about buying a new suit or a fancy new dress in order to go to church on Easter. At NewPointe we think the most important thing is just that you're there. There won't be a fashion show. Will there be new suits and fancy dresses? No doubt. Will there be people wearing jeans and flip-flops? No doubt (I'll probably be one of them).

7. I heard, through the grapevine, that the band will be doing a Toby Mac song. Sweet!

6. You don't have to get up at 5 a.m. in order to get ready for a sunrise service.

5. Your Momma really, really wants you in church on Easter...and if you gotta be in church, I can't think of a better place than NewPointe.

4. It will be the beginning of at brand new message series called "No Strings Attached." And trust me, you will not want to miss week one (or any week) of this unbelievable series.

3. I was talking to Danny about some of the creative elements that will be included. Jeepers! I can't disclose too much information at this point but...bottom line...it will be phenomenal.

2. People are going to be introduced to Jesus Christ. I know you don't want to miss that. And you can get in on that...all you have to do is bring someone with you! Invite them now so they can plan for it!

1. As always our worship and the entire experience will be all about Jesus. And I can't think of a better way to celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive than at NewPointe with NewPointe people.

Easter services are at regular service times: 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. No KidStuf (but we'll have two KidStufs the following week!).
