Welcome to Spring! What a season it has been already. March Madness was amazing and the championship game did not disappoint; although I was hoping for a Butler upset. However, I was not upset about the reports of record attendance and salvations from churches over Easter weekend. I hope you had a great Easter with family as you were reminded about the love of God and sacrifice of Christ. If you are a pastor or leader somewhere and Easter wasn't what you wanted it to be, don't sweat it. Please know that you are making a difference. Please take time to view the links below as they serve to help encourage and resource you and your ministry.
