So this year for Easter, my church, Austin Stone Community is having ONE BIG Easter Service! We usually have 4 services at each of our 2 campuses every Sunday. So this will be a time for the entire church body to come together! It will be at 10:30am at the Frank Erwin Center (that is where the UT basketball team plays)!!
This Easter, we'll have more people worshipping our risen Lord together than we have capacity available in all the services at both of our campuses. So, this year we have a unique opportunity to come together for one service at the Frank Erwin Center in the heart of Austin.
We'll have plenty of seats and plenty of parking for you to bring your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors with you as we celebrate the most pivotal event in all of history – the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
So if you are going to be in town for Easter, please join us, you don't want to miss out this amazing experience!
We will also be having a FOOD DRIVE! Our response to God's grace through the resurrected Christ is to share the good news! We do this by sharing what has happened and how Christ is changing our lives. We also do this by serving our city as a demonstration of the redemption and restoration that He will bring to the world.
As you celebrate Easter this year, please also join us in serving our city. The For the City Network has many ways to get involved in a variety of areas and be "for the city" year-round. A great first step to serve Austin is by bringing non-perishable food items and hygiene products to the Frank Erwin Center on Easter Sunday.
These items will be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank, one of the nonprofits at The For the City Center. The CAFB distributes 70,000 lbs. of food per day to over 48,000 people every week as part of its mission to nourish hungry people and lead the community in ending hunger.
