With Easter just around the corner how is your church preparing for Easter and what is your plan to promote it?

I did find this free video series on rethinking easter that covers promoting Easter and other things to help maximize your impact in the lives of people that day. It's from Church Marketing University: chuchmarketinguniveristy.com/easter

It seems strange to me to think that Easter needs promoting. Everyone in church knows how the church calendar works, what follows Lent, and why.

I am looking forward to Easter. My church is just preparing for the Easter service.

No offense to stevennuwave, but I don't think it needs to be promoted. People need Christ, not a special entertainment.

My priest wanders around the church ground 'flagellating' himself to honor the sacrifice. Is that not practiced elsewhere?

We are having a congregational Passover seder.

Why celebrate a pagan festival?

Easter is worldly so you arent being christian if you do as the world

Saturday is the sabbath and God would have you put to death if you were to PICK UP STICKS on that day thats how god views sin ANY SIN IS EVIL IN THE SLIGHTEST the way you view sin is nothing compared to how he views it but Jesus died to kill off Sin in our lives so that no man should be put to death for wrongdoing and for god to reconcilate with us because you were only put to death because god has left you for even the littlest of disobendience he even saught to kill Moses for sinning

by the way sun_day is sun worship

General Conversation:

Easter: If one studies to see where Easter; and many other holidays come from, they would not be so quick to take part in Them. These all have a pagan background.
Have you ever seen a rabbit give birth to an egg? Have you even seen a chicken give birth to a rabit?
How about the tooth fairy? Where does it come from?
And the best one of all in my opinion for false lies is, Satan Clus: Satan and his rain-dear that can fly.
When was Jesus born? It was not in December. See how people just jump on the wagon?

Agreed.
The various names of the fertility goddess, Ishtar Ashtoreth Astarte Eastre etc. all ended up as Easter.

According to the New Unger’s Bible Dictionary says: “The word Easter is of Saxon origin, Eastra, the goddess of spring, in whose honour sacrifices were offered about Passover time each year.

Avoid it like the plague.

We are having an easter play and two services that day.

To be honest, I do all I can to dissuade people from this Easter idolatry and nonsense.
Its about time the church abandoned its pagan feasts returned to the biblical ones.
