Easter Sunday 2010
Easter Sunday 2010 was awesome at Bellaire Baptist Church. This was our first year to have Easter services at two locations (both Main Campus and the Complex at South Campus), and it worked out beautifully. We had large crowds, but we still had plenty of seating and parking space. We had approximately 1,400 people in all three services, and we truly worshiped a Risen Savior!






































































Bellaire hosts 2010 Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter Egg Hunt was a HUGE success. We had hundreds of children from birth – 5th grade scurrying all over the fields of Bellaire Elementary playground to gather as many eggs as they could find. It didn’t take the children long to make all 10,000 eggs disappear from the grounds. Children went away with their baskets overflowing with eggs that were stuffed with candy. Each child also received a balloon with M&Ms and a card attached inviting all to attend Easter services at Bellaire. God provided a gorgeous day for the children to hunt eggs and He also provided MANY volunteers to help hide eggs, work registration tables, and/or fill the 400 balloons that children received upon leaving. Thanks to all of you who so eagerly served and made this event the success that it was.

The afterparty was held in the Bellaire Bistro where the runners enjoyed fruit and beverages while prizes were awarded. Jacob Langen placed 2nd in the 1-19yr old mens category and his sister Mackenzie Langen placed 1st in the 1-19yr old womens category. We are very proud that they are members at the Bellaire Fitness Center.

Funds for Furnishings Campaign Begins
Funds for Furnishings is our new fund raising campaign to provide money to furnish the Learning Center, Sunday School rooms, the worship area, etc. at the Bellaire Complex. If you did not receive one of our brochures either at your home or in your Sunday School class, there are copies in the foyers. The envelopes for Funds for Furnishings are located in the pews.

The visual in the Worship Center foyer shows how much has been raised to date and will be updated each week. One block equals $3,000. Please prayerfully consider how you will participate.
