Easter Church Reports
Here is a thread to post how your church celebrated Easter and how many visitors came since it seems Easter and Christmas are the two times of the year folks who don't normally come to church visit.
To start things off here is my pastor's facebook post before Easter about our Easter weekend services;

We don't have any giveaways, egg hunts, or celebrities this weekend, but if you are curious about the story of mankind and God and God's plan for restoring the fracture between us, we would love you to come out Saturday at 5 or 7pm or Sunday 7,9, or 11am. ExperienceCC.com
We normally go through books of the bible word for word (we have been in Acts for about 6 months now) but make a few exceptions throughout the year and this was one. Sermon was not the typical resurrection sermon but an overview of God's relationship to man from Genesis through Revelation.
We normally run around 3,200 folks over 4 weekend services (2 Saturday and 2 Sunday). We added a 5th service (7 am Sunday) for Easter weekend and without any advertising or promotions ran a little over 5,000.
This does not count our daughter work in the next county over. I don't have data from that location yet and don't know if they added any services.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
