It was our first Easter in Texas. The Hughes Fam got ready by teaching the kids all about Christ's sacrifice. Never too early to teach that. Together we watched a kid-friendly animated version of The Passion, and used Resurrection Eggs to help them remember the events leading up to Christ's death and resurrection. More importantly, we discussed what effect those events has on our lives today and what we should do in response. It was extra special to hear Mary Hannah and Avery talk about the Easter story and to see them embrace it.
Our church services were packed! In all, there were 8,500 people present at the weekend services. The sanctuary is large, but it was full! Even our second campus had standing room only! Here are a couple pictures from the day.

The cafe portion of the lobby was also packed. See the blue screens? People sat out in the lobby to watch the service on those TVs since there was no more room.
They filled the lobby with chairs to accommodate the overflow.
Sundays are always busy in our house. It really a work day for Pastors. So we like to take it easy. We had a simple egg hunt then let the kids play in the splash park by our apartment. Here are some pics from our day:
