Real Life, Newark Naz. and Easter Weekend






It is hard to believe that one year ago this weekend Real Life Church of the Nazarene reopened and started trying to be a church that would be effective in touching their neighborhood with the message of Good News. Saturday night and Sunday morning over 90 people attended services in this once dying church! What an amazing testimony to the power of God's willingness to inhabit the work of those who surrender the church to Him.

This church is our first multi-site location and I can't think of a better place or people to represent the ministry of Newark Naz. I am grateful for God's help this weekend and it is my prayer that the over 1300 people who showed up in six services held in these two locations were touched with the message of hearing God's wake up call and coming to life. This picture of our Williams Street location was taken the Sunday before Easter but it tells the story. It is a great place to be when God shows up. What a great joy it is to see these seats full each week with people hungry to know God and His will for their lives.
On this Easter Lord's Day it is clear that Christ has risen, He is risen indeed!
