Easter at The Well

This past Sunday morning, every seat in the house was taken during our 11:00 service we call The Well. All of our extra chairs were set out and there were even some standing in the back. Just 5 months into this new service, we are filling it up almost every weekend which is an amazing blessing.

And yet, it’s also a challenge!

In four weeks it will be Easter, and our regular Easter crowd multiplies our regular weekend crowd by 2 1/2 times. Many of those are families who may be visiting from out of town, visitors who are checking out the church for the first time as well as friends that members of our church invite to our Easter celebration. We are honored by every individual who chooses to worship at First Methodist Mansfield on Easter!

Now, all of our other four weekend services will have plenty of seats on Easter. Saturday Night is a great opportunity to be in worship during that weekend. We have about 750 in that service last year and we could double that. Our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 services in the sanctuary are very large on Easter, but there will be room for more and those services will all be outstanding!

But if you’ve been attending the Well, and you want to share that experience with a friend, I want to make sure that can happen.

So here is the challenge I shared with the 240 who were present this last Sunday morning!

On Easter, we will have two opportunities to be present at The Well.

We will have our regular 11:00 service in the chapel as well as an identical service at 12:30 p.m. If 12:30 p.m. could work for your schedule, I want to ask you to consider making that change for this Sunday to make room at the 11:00 a.m. hour. We should have plenty of seats at 11:00 so if you have family and friends you would like to invite on Easter, that would be a great service to invite them too also.

Wake up late, have a nice brunch with the family and come join us at 12:30!

Wouldn’t it be great to fill our Chapel twice on Easter Sunday?
