One of my favorite things about this winter and ACMNP was being able to hold worship services outside.

There is just something about worshiping God in the midst of His creation. It helps me to feel closer to Him.

One of my favorite services was our Easter sunrise service at the Mesquite Flat Sand dunes. This is a tradition that has been going on for quite a while and we had the chance to continue it.

We had over 60 people in attendance, which was a blessing but also quite nerve-wracking. The sun rose over the mountains right when we started our last song. It was truly a gift from God and was such a wonderful time of worship and remembrance.
