“How to Ruin Easter Service (So We Know What NOT to Do!)”

1. Forget Why We’re Gathering
   Make it about outfits, eggs, and attendance instead of the resurrection.
   Ruin it by replacing meaning with marketing.
2. Start Late and End Late
   Test everyone’s patience before the opening song.
   People remember how they felt, not what you said.
3. Preach a Confusing, Long-Winded Message
   Bonus points for outdated language and zero resurrection mentions!
   Or better yet, preach everything except Jesus.
4. Make Guests Feel Unwelcome
   No smiles. No greetings. No seats. No direction.
   Nothing says “Come back soon” like being ignored.
5. Wing It
   Skip rehearsals, tech checks, and planning. Let chaos reign.
   Hope the slides work and the mics behave!
6. Let Drama Overwhelm the Day
   Let the team squabble, stress, and snap at each other behind the scenes.
   After all, tension backstage never affects the stage… right?
7. Sing Songs No One Knows
   Because nothing connects a congregation like total confusion.
   “He is risen”… in 12/8 time and a key nobody can sing.

Flip It Around: How to Make Easter Memorable

• Center it all on Jesus and His resurrection
• Be hospitable, prepared, and joyful
