EASTER at GRACE



Service Times - We will have 3 identical services on Easter morning (7:15; 9:00; 10:45)

Children’s Program - There will be nursery and children’s programs during our 9:00 and 10:45 services, but there will be no nursery or child-care during the 7:15 service.

Rise Early - We are expecting the largest Sunday attendance in the history of our church on Easter. Most of our hundreds and hundreds of guests will attend the 9:00 or 10:45 services. We really need to fill the auditorium at 7:15 so we are asking our regulars, especially those without children, to get up early this Easter and attend our early service.

Parking - With the exception of the elderly, those with small children, and those with physical disabilities, we are asking everyone who is a regular at Grace Church to park in the furthest areas of our parking lots on Easter in order to allow our guests to have the prime parking spaces.

Breakfast - Lititz Christian School and Morningstar Daycare invite you to enjoy a light breakfast as you join us for worship on Easter morning. Traditionally, our continental Easter breakfast is served inside the building, however this year, for your convenience, refreshments will be packaged and made available outside at various kiosks. Our school and daycare staff, along with many of our student’s families will be happy to assist you whether you are picking up some goodies on your way to or from one of our services.

Classes - There will be no youth or Adult Bible Fellowship Classes on Easter Sunday.

Free CD - We will be giving away one per family to everyone who attends this Easter a copy of our new CD recorded live at Grace Church featuring four of the original songs that we sing here at Grace that were written by our Worship Arts Director, Matt McElravy. We are pleased that everyone who attends on Easter will be able to have our ministry continue with them after they leave through this exciting recording.

Music - Matt McElravy and our Worship Arts Ministry here at Grace have put together a very exciting morning of music and worship for our Easter celebration. The Crosswalk Band will be joining our vocalists in leading us in songs such as Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, Crown Him with Many Crowns, All The Earth Will Sing Your Praise, Crushed (You Laid Down Your Life), and My Redeemer Lives. There also will be some excellent stand alone songs that including our Worship Choir singing, Alive Forever Amen; our Worship Quartet singing Goodbye World Goodbye; Rick Bernhardt singing I Can Only Imagine; and a special solo by Lisa McCoy

Message - On Easter we will launch a new series on heaven called “The WOW Factor: World of Wonder.” See a preview at http://www.gracechurchworship.org/wowpromo.html.
