Families looking for a way to celebrate the spring season together will find plenty to do at World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, which is hosting a multi-week Spring Festival and Easter Weekend Celebration filled with worship, music, food, and activities for kids.
The festivities run from Saturday, March 28, through Saturday, April 11, bringing the community together for outdoor gatherings, live worship music, food trucks, learning opportunities, and family-friendly fun. Church leaders say the goal is to create a welcoming space where people of all ages can celebrate the Easter season and build community.
“Spring is one of our favorite times of year because of these worship festivals,” says Pastor Allen Jackson. “They give us an opportunity to gather as a community and celebrate the hope we have because of Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection. We want this to be a place where people can hear biblical truth, encounter God, and experience authentic Christian community.”
Music and Worship Throughout the Festival
Several well-known Christian artists will lead worship during the festival weekends, followed by outdoor worship concerts after each service.
