Fusion held a Good Friday service for the first time this year. Between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, almost 900 gathered at Fusion to remember Jesus' death and celebrate his resurrection.

Embrace Church held twenty services on Easter Sunday.  After each of the services there was a duck pond game to play, baby chicks to watch and hold, plus an Easter egg hunt. 

Over 4,750 people came to Embrace to celebrate the love of Jesus and hear the story of the resurrection.  Volunteers and staff hid over 16,000 Easter eggs as part of the celebration.
