Easter@Brasa






In the good old days of church life, Easter was a time to invite family and friends to a special event or special service. The numbers would swell on that Sunday morning causing people to feel good about the service but without any true connection. The visitors would not return until the following Easter, and the next week's attendance returned to what it was before. However, we approached Easter as another opportunity to reach and connect with people. So we had church “out of the box”—so we had Easter at Brasa, Brazilian Restaurant.

Discovering your next step in Christ is not always easy. We’ve designed ways to help you grow on your spiritual journey as you move toward reaching your potential.

Here are a few steps to rediscover your FAMILY during EASTER.

True or False Questions: (T/F)

Family Celebrate Their Faith Together

1. __Everyone has sinned.

2. __The Result of sin is death, but God gives life through his Son.

3. __Jesus came to die for your sin.

4. __There is no other way to be with God except through Jesus.

5. __If I believe God raised Jesus from the dead, I can be saved.

6. __We should live for Christ.

7. __If I ask Jesus to come into my life, He will save me.


Family Cultivate Close Relationships

1. __Every Family should have a day or night out.

2. __The result of some fresh air and exercise strengthens relationships.

3. __Families are ordained by God.

4. __Families should sit down and eat together.

5. __If I have a game night with my family, they will enjoy it.

6. __We are formed for God’s family.

7. __If I take one of my family members out to dinner, they would enjoy it.

Family Goals

1. I will develop real and true community within my church family.

2. I will intentionally cultivate my relationships with Christian friends and spiritual mentors.

3. I will regularly connect with my immediate family (parent, siblings, kids and spouse)

So here is my question: Can Easter be celebrated anywhere so that we can reach the lost.
