Get Your Tail In Church This Easter

By Pastor Tim White

Easter is the moment for each of us to break through to a new level of dynamic faith - if we can only believe it! You will be inspired to believe at a more authentic level than you ever have before this Easter Sunday at 10:30 am.

If you can make it to our in-person service, it would be so important to Washington Cathedral. All over the world people have stopped coming to in-person services at their churches. It’s totally understandable with all we have gone through with the pandemic. On-line services are up, in fact, we had over 50,000 people view our service on just a normal week. Some churches have over a million. But at some point, we need to continue meeting in person to be a healthy church. We find people who are back to shopping, going to sports events, going to dinner or even a bar but still not coming back to church. It’s hard to make a church more than a crowd unless we can worship together in person. Why not try out going back or bring a friend at Easter. You are welcome to wear a mask if you want, but if you want to worship without one then it’s lawful to worship that way as well.

Our Special Guests this Easter are Ellaina Lewis who is one of the top young sopranos in the nation. Of course, you know Leon Patillo will also be there; and as the former lead singer for the band Santana, he brings a lot of energy and joy to the service. The resurrection drama will be better than ever. Eliot Stone and Chelsea Maitland have assembled a master worship team that have come to worship the Master. Including lead, rhythm and base guitars along with drums, piano, and keyboard leading worship in front of the waterfall. We will have hundreds of beautiful blossoming flowers. Pastors David and Carol are making a super breakfast before the service and there will be a fun Easter egg hunt for kids right after the worship service.

Friday night (April 15) at 7pm, Dr. Marty Folsom is leading a wonderful Good Friday service with the seven stages of the cross.

What a great Sunday to dare to come back to church in person. The world needs Christian faith and churches more than ever so please be a part of saving the church.

Your friend for the rest of our lives,

Pastors Tim and Jackie White
