Despite the negative tone of my last post, Easter Sunday really was a great morning of celebration at Momentum. The energy was high, the lights were bright, and the music was loud (too loud for some, I've heard...). This was due in large part to the unveiling of the new stage, video screen, lights system, wall curtains, and tweaked sound system. It was fun to watch peoples' reactions as they entered the newly revamped space for the first time. I think many people were surprised about how much had been accomplished in a week's time, and how much of a difference those changes made in the overall feel of the room.
The music team was awesome, and it was a set that really allowed us to keep the energy and spirit of celebration high throughout the service. The pseudo-special "Christ is Risen", as the culmination of the "Easter Changes Everything" teaching was really a highlight. Even though it is a very simple song (I think there are only three chords in the whole song), its simplicity makes it very accessible to listener and performers, and it was frankly just a lot of fun to play. It was awesome to see the response of the body as in both services people were inspired to stand and sing with us in praise to the risen Christ - "He is risen, hallelujah..." Very very cool moments. Totally appropriate then as we closed out with "Salvation is Here" to cap off a morning of high-energy celebration of Jesus.
