For members of the
Austin Stone Community Church, the day was as much about giving as it was about receiving the Easter message.
Thousands of congregants and some newcomers celebrated Easter in the Frank Erwin Center, a celebration that drew an estimated 10,000 people.
"We meet in two separate locations in two different parts of the city over the course of eight services. So it was very important to us to have our entire church at one place at one time," Matt Carter said.
