I posted about my planning for Easter a few weeks ago, but now Easter is in plain sight. I think I’ve crossed all the T’s and dotted all the I’s (I could have uttered some famous last words right there…) It’s my first Easter in Lubbock and I’ll be involved in doing special Easter celebrations for all 4 Sunday Morning services in all of our kid’s areas. I have over 100 volunteers helping out in many different areas for our Children Ministry this Easter. I have programming, services, and many other activities happening in 3 different buildings. But really, that might have been the easiest part.
The hard part is remembering that it’s Easter. My prayer for Easter is that I don’t get lost in the frustrating part of what I do. I spent some major time in prayer this morning, just asking God to help me be a good reflection of what Easter means to the families at my church. If I’m celebrating that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, then I’d really like to have that show on my countenance throughout the morning. I’m also praying that the conviction to be excellent will reign down on all of my volunteers. I really want to make Jesus as easy to find on Easter as humanely possible. I’m praying that most of my planning will help us all avoid being thrown off our God-given purpose by distractions and disruptions that inevitably come with gathering hundreds of kids together in one place. I really believe that this weekend could be the beginning of the rest of someones life with Jesus.
If you have a Bible, will you shake it at the screen and maybe shake your hankie in my general direction?
“Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.” Daniel 12:3
