Easter Outreach

This past weekend (Easter) our church held evangelistic meetings on Thursday and Friday evening and on Saturday had a Community Egg Hunt. Our guest for the weekend was BB Angelo. If you’re looking for a family friendly evangelist that will reach children and adults alike, you should consider BB Angelo. He was great. . . God used him to share the Gospel and bring others into His kingdom.

On Saturday the Community Egg Hunt attracted over 550 people. We had a Jumpy Castle, a Giant Slide, and an Obstacle Course. There was free food, prizes, 5,000 eggs, two live shows by BB Angelo and best of all, 17 people came forward and accepted Christ. It all happened between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon.

Here are some photos of the event as well as some more information:

The event consisted of two live shows with BB Angelo, 3 egg hunts for children over 6 and two for children 5 and under. The eggs had a scripture verse, candy and/or toy and some had prize tickets in them. If a child got a prize ticket he/she would get to go to the prize table and choose a toy. If the ticket said “bike” then they won one of five bicycles.

During the live show BB periodically gave away “lucky seat” prizes and toward the end of the show gave away a scooter. The first show had an attendance of about 114 or more. The second show had around 154- it was standing room only.

BB shared the gospel and gave an invitation in both shows. Because of time constraints he was not able to invite people to come forward in the first show. But in the second show 17 came forward to give their life to Christ. We were able to visit with the group of 17 and each person filled out a welcome card for follow-up. We are following up this week.

Praise God for a great weekend. He is good . . . He is risen. . .indeed!
