Easter Sunday Reflections

• Worship was inspiring. Barry, the choir and praise team lead us in wonderful worship in the first service.
• Congratulations to Barry and Cheryl Cavin for faithfully serving Gateway since 1986. They celebrate 24 years this Tuesday. Give them a BIG THANKS!
• Thanks to Judd and his worship team. They were hitting on all cylinders in the second and third service.
• Thanks to Judd, Alan and the band members for working long hours to complete the worship CD you used as an invitation for Easter.
• I love the passion of those that lead us in worship!
• I appreciate each of our worship team members. They spend hours every week getting ready for Sunday worship. They learn their parts individually. They give up an evening from home to rehearse at church. They come in as early as 7:00 on Sunday morning for one last rehearsal. Be sure to thank them for leading us with heart and passion.
• You did your part! You invited your friends. We had over 1,400 on campus.
• Thanks for making our visitors feel at home.
• Thanks to Barry and his team for having the grounds and buildings well prepared.
• Thanks to Sam Reynolds for having the parking lot re-striped and cleaned in time for Sunday.
• Thanks to David Gold and his team of 50 volunteers for each aspect of welcoming our guest.
• Thanks to Marie Boozer for preparing the gift baskets for our guest.
• Thanks to our team who prepare the connections week after week.
• Thanks to Joseph Gold for washing down the sidewalks from all the pollen at the last minute.
• Thanks to Paige and Cretia and their extensive team of volunteers who work with our preschoolers and children each week.
• Thanks to our coffee team. They come very early to get coffee and refreshments ready for you!
• Thanks to our entire church family for loving your Savior; his church; and this community.
• Thanks to our entire staff for their prayers, hard work and passion to make Sunday happen.
  Thanks for your faithfulness in giving.
• One last thought… I am praying that there will be Krispy Kreme doughnuts in Heaven!
  
  I love being your pastor!
