We are thrilled to announce the premiere of The Easter Experience on February 8th, 2008 at The Grand Convention Center in New Albany, Indiana from 2:00-6:00pm. Everyone is welcome to come and go as they please and enjoy free food. The Easter Experience is a unique, video-driven small group study that brings the passion and resurrection of Jesus to life through dramatic storytelling and challenging teaching. This special DVD study project and the corresponding participant’s guide were created to help families and their communities experience the resurrection message that is celebrated each Easter holiday, in a fresh new way.

The Easter Experience consists of six 20-minute episodes, with leader’s guides, participant’s guides, and leader training resources. Each episode touches on topics such as how people are searching for a purpose, how everyone can have a fresh start in Christ, how Jesus identifies with people in their times of suffering, how God has a plan for every person’s life, how the redemption story applies to everyone, and how hope is alive now that Jesus is resurrected.

“It is our prayer that The Easter Experience will do for families, small groups and churches everywhere, what ‘The Passion of the Christ’ did for moviegoers,” says Shane Sooter, the artistic director and president of City on a Hill Productions. Sooter, who comes from an acting background and portrays Jesus Christ in the video experience, goes on to say that “with passionate acting, high quality video presentations, and impactful teachings and messages The Easter Experience can’t help but inspire you. And it’s not only for Easter as the resurrection message of Christ’s love for us is one we should celebrate year-round.”

Outside of offering a visually engaging experience of the resurrection story, key components to the episodes are powerful lessons lead by Kyle Idleman, the teaching minister at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY.

“The teaching segments basically guide users through each episode’s overall message. These sessions help them to delve deeper into the personal application of: what if what happened then changes everything now?”, notes Idleman. “Plus although geared towards small groups and families, the material is so engaging and easy to follow that it can work for personal study too.”

Can’t wait to see you there!!!
