The last few years a fast food chain in our area passed out invite cards to Easter with Waters Edge Church to every person who visited the restaurant. It was a HUGE way to get the word out about our services. Someone complained and threatened to sue the restaurant. Because of the drama caused by one person the restaurant wasn’t able to pass out our invite cards.
The WEC staff put our heads together and came up with a creative way to spread the word. It’s called Easterrocks.com. On Sunday we, ever so gently, placed cards with instructions on each car in our parking lot. The instructions asked that each person do 3 things.
-
Buy a window chalk marker
-
Write Easterrocks.com on your windshield (we clarified rear windshield just to be safe)
-
Write Easterrocks.com on your Facebook, Twitter, or blog.
We then provided markers for all of our Community Group Facilitators so that Community Groups could mark up cars together. This past Monday my group chalked up our cars during group. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pics…
nice.
One person. One person can cause so much uproar. One person can lead to so much negativity and drama. One person. But, one person can also save the world.
you seriously should have seen Lindsey's car the next day. all those bubble letters ran together into a big mess.
Way to go!! I saw easter rocks on the back of a Volvo at IHOP 4/16. I googled it and the info I got spawned this response. I am a member of Wellspring Methodist. That really doesn’the matter when it comes to our Lord but the comment’s about negative comments do no good. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Yea Easter rocks alright because nothing about it concerns Yisshua!!!!!
We’re in line for the Scotland Ferry. The vehicle ahead of has EasyerRocks.com on the back window, which led us here.
God is good. All the time.
Heading to Savannah, GA from Cape Cod when we saw EasterRocks.com. Great idea! God bless your efforts and outreach. HE IS RISEN INDEED!
I have seen the car windows and it peaked my interest (so good idea) However if I were a person who didn’t have a church to attend but was about it I probably wouldnt end up at your service. The reason for this is I still don’t have your information. I typed in the website written on windows and it brought me to this article and after reading this article I am still unaware of where your church is and what time your service is. The knowledge I do have is because of one person and the state of our world this good source to get the word out is no longer a viable one. However you all came up with an alternative plan and had fun doing it.
