It's time for EasterSTL at The Factory // M-Note 3.28.24

Easter weekend is here! The Gathering will have TWO worship services - 9 and 10:45am - this Sunday, at a brand new venue - The Factory.
 
Here are 10 reasons why you (and your friends/family) won’t want to miss EasterSTL at The Factory:

1. You’ll be able to get a family picture and show off your Easter outfits! We will have The Photo Bus St. Louis! Post them to Instagram using #EasterSTL.

2. Incredible live music! The Red and Black Brass Band will greet you between services as only they can. The Easter Choir is back! And, worship will be led by a super band of familiar faces from all our sites.

3. Your kids will love it. We will have an awesome kids ministry experience for kids ages birth through 5 years old at the Reverie right next to The Factory. Pro tip: arrive at least 15 minutes early to take a family pic, sign in the kids, and head over to worship.

4. Parking is so EASY! There is plenty of parking right in front of The Factory and an easy way to drop folks off right at the door. If you’re dropping off kids, there will be signs to show you the best place to park to make it even easier.

5. The option to worship and share the message online! The Live Online Worship Experience begins at 10am CST. Pastor Madi Denton will be live from The Factory - chatting with people in the lobby and sharing videos, including a special version of my Easter sermon. You may even get a bird’s eye view from the stage…Tune in on any platform - YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

6. A chance to make a difference for kids! 100% of our offering will go towards impacting public schools in St. Louis through our Literacy Project.

7. Plenty of room! With two services, we’ll have more than enough seats for you and all of your family and friends. Invite them now!. Pro-Tip: If your plans are flexible, worship with us at 9am.

8. After party! Explore The District after worship. From Four Hands Brewing to TopGolf, there are plenty of things to do without even having to move your car. ⁠

9. We’re ready for you! With over 175 volunteers serving, we are ready to welcome you. And there’s still room to volunteer - it is a meaningful way to spend your Easter, and we would love to have you. Sign up here.

10. You’ll hear the Good News! We’ve designed a worship service that will leave you inspired, hope-filled and re-energized. We’ll be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus and remembering that life conquers death, hope conquers fear, and joy conquers despair. Who doesn’t need that?

Easter is the culmination of our story of faith, and it is a time for great celebration for our church. All the details for the day are right here. I hope that you will take a moment right now and share the invitation on social media.
 
I cannot wait to see you there!
 
Peace,
Matt
 
P.S. Tonight, we will celebrate Maundy Thursday and commemorate the events of the last supper where Jesus gathered with his disciples, washed their feet, and shared a meal with them. The Gathering will have an interactive open house meditative experience at the Clayton Site from 5-7pm. Join us anytime during that period and remember the events of the last night Jesus was with his disciples. Tomorrow, on Good Friday, we will gather at 7pm at our McCausland site to commemorate Jesus’ death on the cross.
