Easter thoughts
Yes, I know Easter is over and I'm late in blogging stuff. I just couldn't pass up these stories though. There will be a second one coming over the next few days.
Last Easter at New Heights, Greg led the congregation in an Easter salutation. He came onto the stage and shouted "He is Risen!" The normal congregational response should be "He is Risen Indeed". Not this church. Let's try that again. "He is Risen!" Everyone screamed "WWWWWOOOOOOOO" with fists raised in the air. Only at New Heights. To be honest, it excited me, because it was such a heartfelt celebration. No pretenses, and full of culture. Greg looked surprised and shyly said into the microphone... "He is risen indeed" then left the stage.
