Easter. It’s the one Sunday of the year when anyone who has ever colored a picture of Jesus, sung Amazing Grace or put on a fancy hat might come to church. Easter Sunday is usually the highest attended worship service of the year for most churches.
There are several options in Howe for your visiting pleasure. Visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating. You often don’t know what to expect. You’d love to ask, but you’re not sure who to ask or even if your question sounds silly. It’s not. Probably others have the same question as you. Often times, people have key factors on choosing a home church when visiting a church for the first time on Easter. These questions are:
1. What will we do? What can I expect? 2. Will you embarrass me? 3. How long will the service last? 4. What time should I arrive? 5. Do you have something for children? 6. Can I only come one time? Really, for what am I signing up when I come Easter Sunday?
