Easter with Waters Edge was an amazing experience. We celebrated at the Hampton Roads Convention Center. We kicked off our brand new series entitled Illusions. Between the two services 4,015 people attended. The most amazing part for me was seeing 337 people stand to their feet and ask Jesus to be their Savior. It was truly a remarkable experience. Enjoy some pics of the service…

It’s a way for us to help motivate people to get to church a little early.
It was sponsored by Chick Fil-A and they gave us a ton of free coupons to give out.

This was the stairway to heaven.

to us through his son Jesus. The cross is proof that we don’t have to
make our way to God.
The service was SO amazing! It was so moving and funny all at once! It was so great to see all those people stand to their feet to give their lives to Jesus! I loved it! 337 people's lives were changed! Wow! So amazing. Oh and the videos were SO funny, thanks for being you Rob! And by the way, "My name is not Frances!"
Me and my little one enjoyed the service yesterday. Getting in and out of the parking lot was a breeze as well. I appreciate all of the effort of the WEC staff who put this all together. Your hard work really paid off!
wow. i can only imagine the awesomeness…
it was AMAZING!!! i so enjoyed the entire thing. it was such a smooth, wonderful, blissfully happy experience. THANK YOU!
Absolutely fantastic! Everyone did a wonderful job. Seeing all of the people at the second service commit their lives to Christ was extremely moving!
Yep, to echo all the other comments, y'all did an amazing job in preparation and execution, and God used it in a great way. I'm sure there were plenty of really long days (and nights) getting ready for it all, but the results were great!
Easter service had to be the best service that I have ever been to. You WEC guys rock!
Everything was amazingly awesome!! Pre Show, Music, Message, just everything. But, the best part for me was when I went to say Happy Easter to Lleyton Dunsmore (4 yrs. old)after he got out of Wee World and he looked me in the eyes and asked, "Did you know that Jesus died for us"? Whoever taught that class did a great job!!
Rob, thanks for all that you and Monica do!
