(Bump) Easter? (Part 1)

So, I'm interested to know how your church does Easter. Easter is the biggest Sunday of the year (as far as church attendance goes) in the US, and most churches tend to pull out all of the stops for this one Sunday.

I'm guessing that we do Easter a little differently than most other churches.

Please, take ten seconds to answer the poll below (which is now closed) by leaving a comment explaining your answer. Then, check out Part 2 for some more discussion!

Thanks!

The Chicken or The Egg?

So, what came first? Will this question ever be answered?

There's a similar question that I see asked all the time among church leaders concerning our time spent together in corporate worship:

Does the Worship prepare us for the Word (very religious term for the "sermon"), or does the Word prepare us for the Worship?

Most Pastors seems to think that the worship (namely the music/song) prepares for the message, and while many worship leaders think the opposite is true, my dealings with others is that most actually agree with their pastor.

My question is, does it really have to be an either/or thing?

What do you think?

Please, take a few minutes to answer the poll below (polls are my new favorite blog toy, if you can't tell), and then explain your answer in the comments.

Thanks!
