Being a multi-site campus at Bay Area Fellowship presents a unique opportunity at Easter Planning. Due to the scale size and technology level of our “original” campus it is very hard to present a morning like they can pull off. We have to think through our own planning on a campus/mulit-site level. This is from the perspective of a multi-site campus averaging around 300 people in a 5,000 sq. ft. building.
Last year our campuses all sang one song that was exactly the same that had a video I created from the Passion. This year going in we have not yet set down to plan it out as we are in the middle of potentially launching a new campus on Easter.
I thought I’d give you a perspective of how we are going to approach planning as a campus:
Leading Into Easter – The week before we are planning a 20,000 Easter EGGstravaganza. We are trying something a little unique in that we will be doing this over all our Sunday services. We are planning four services and will be looking to do 5,000 eggs at each time. To spread the word we will be getting fliers into three different school districts.
The Whole Weekend – We are thinking outside of Sunday and what could be done on Good Friday or Saturday. We are going to be doing a Good Friday service that will be geared around leading into the weekend. We will be doing some video elements with slower worship as we reflect on what Christ has done for us through communion. As the night goes it will turn into a celebration as we do baptisms. Another thing you could do is have a prayer meeting leading into the weekend.
Easter Sunday – Sunday Morning will consist of some special music geared around the message of Easter. With our style of doing ministry some of that will be high energy and slow worship. We will add in some graphical and video touches. I’m thinking of trying to find some video elements that will be creative for the Sunday presentation. We will also choose a special song that will possibly be done at all our multi-site campuses. Also at this point we will most likely switch from a week behind to using the Saturday night message from Pastor Bil Cornelius.
Size should not be an option…really nothing should stand in the way of you adding a little extra to Easter.
