This is going to be the biggest and best Easter yet!

In each of the morning services,

all first-time guests will be eligible to win a family night at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine!


At 4:00p, our prize hunts will begin.


This year we will even be having a prize hunt for the adults which will include cash, gift cards, and a grand prize.

We will have free food,


inflatables for the kids to play on,


and surprises throughout the day.

Bring the whole family -- you don't want to miss this one!

exactly when I was in a ACE school (accelerated christian school) we had Saturday night activities in our church gym and that was for things like this,we had halloween parties and people bought cakes for church and school funds and we played games in each corner,on easter,easter egg hunts but we still had a sunrise service,christmas party to share a meal and exchange gag gifts or serious ones and plays and so forth,but that was then and this is now.

Dear Pastor Bates,

Where was Jesus Christ fitted into your "vision" of the church?

Anyways, I'll introduce myself another time when I have a few spare minutes.

Wonder if he'll respond? lol

you want to know what is sad and intresting about this:


this thing this church is doing has even been mentioned some
atheist and liberal groups online

and even they think what this church and others like this one in
Decatur Texas is doing is wrong and even cheapens christianity



amazing when atheists and other non-christians

are more outraged at what is happening

to our churches than many christians are
