Easter 2011: He Is Risen!

On April 24th, following four outreach-oriented performances of The Thorn at Magness Arena, Easter weekend observances continued with Denver United hosting three services in Sturm Hall. Worship Pastor Austin Pyle and members of the worship team prepared a special program of music, dance, scripture and more to help us turn our eyes towards Jesus and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord.  Some of the memorable moments included scripture readings by Feben Berhe and Mark DeEsparza, a beautiful rendition of "Via Della Rosa" with lead vocals by Blanca Pyle and dance by Gabi Kelley, and a high-energy performance of "Agnus Dei" with lead vocals by Nathan Downey.  Reminiscent of Christmas Eve, the much loved hip-hop dancers made a return appearance, as did the members of the strings section. Pastor Rob presented a message reflective of the love of God that is evident in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and several in attendance made the decision to commit or recommit their lives to Christ.  Relive some of these special memories with some pictures from that morning.
