Recapture Easter

I am super pumped for something happening at my church.  My staff and I developed a concept leading up to Easter called Recapture Easter.  In essence, it is a path to help us prepare our hearts before the celebration of Christ’s resurrection.

We have noticed that Easter has nearly become a forgotten holiday.  It has barely any “build-up.”  At least Christmas still has hoopla.  And people still do office parties and there is caroling in the malls.  Not so with Easter.  We get the push of chocolate bunnies and spring dresses, but it is pretty much just one day.  It has boiled down to another day at church followed by a meal with family.

We believe that the resurrection of Christ is a much bigger deal, and worthy of more of our attention and focus.  Thus the entry of Recapture Easter.

Recapture Easter has four components.  They are withdraw, reflect, review, and pray.  Each week families are called to do portions of each of these.  Each of these format an important leg inviting us to slow down and truly reflect about God’s story in our lives.
