Easter at Seven San Diego

Today is post-Easter Monday and after a long weekend of serving and introducing Jesus to people in Chula Vista, we wanted to reflect on God's faithfulness to Seven San Diego. We'll start with Easter and work backwards.

God's favor on our church was very evident this weekend. On Sunday, we saw several new faces attend our church. Although we expected an influx in attendance, we didn't expect so many of those first timers to be local. 53 more people attended our church this week than the Sunday before. Thanks to our good Lord, we were equipped with enough volunteer help to ease into the growth.


Our Sunday worship service had lots of video, painting on stage, a message about the importance of the resurrection, our new teaching series teaser, and the addition of Koby Orr, our new music leader. It is also important to note that our attendees walked away with free movie passes. Yeah, baby!

We give all the glory to God for the big swell. The "Big Mo" is among us. Momentum that is.

On Saturday, over 60 children, along with their families dropped by our Easter Picnic at Santa Venetia Park in Chula Vista, CA. The children had the opportunity to take pictures with the Easter bunny, hunt for eggs, eat lots of food, play in the jump house, and enjoy several games. Pastor Jeremy McGarity even played some b-ball with many of the fathers.

We would like to thank our friends at First Baptist Church Hesperia for assisting us along the week.


Lastly, but certainly not least, we thank the Lord for He is good. This Easter weekend did not suck.
