Easter Egg Hunt and Movie Night







Thank you for your prayers…..God once again showed Himself faithful. Our kick-off movie night was a huge success.

We started our evening with an Easter egg hunt. This was an opportunity to let the kids have fun and for us to share the true meaning of Easter. While the kids were searching for candy they were also searching for 12 random eggs. Each egg had a piece of the story of Jesus and His final days here on earth. We shared all that Jesus did for us so that we can live with Him forever in heaven. We gave the salvation message with about 50-60 kids and their parents’ right there on Cypress. It was a great beginning to the evening.

Then the time came for us to show “The Passion of the Christ” to about 100 people. The community came out for free popcorn, punch and hot chocolate. We were so blessed to have great volunteers serving the community. Thank you to all who made the evening possible.

As I (Letty) looked around my eyes filled with tears and I was overwhelmed with Gods faithfulness. A young man from the community came up to me and said “I have never seen this before”. I said “What do you mean?” He said “in all my years living here I have never seen this community so united and so accepting of people from other communities”. God brought young and old, male and female from different cultures together for “such a time as this”. It was a great evening of thanksgiving, fellowship and remembrance.

As we journey in this thing called life…We pray we NEVER forget what our Lord and Savior did for us. He died on the cross as a ransom for our sins. He is the bridge in which we can communicate with God. He is the reason for why we do what we do…..Love God – Love Others.
