Your comments welcome.
I know we have had people packed in our vestibule -- standing room only and out on the sidewalk too.
My Church only had the same people that show up every Sunday. Normal 90% of members, couple of families may be sick or Traveling.
My guess as to why?
At that time I thought I was a Christian but I wasn't. I was member of a church that allowed me to be member but never said anything or seem to care if I was there or not.
I guess you could say I thought I was a Christian because I was brought up in a Family that said they were Christians, so I assumed I was. Went to Sunday School and stuff as a kid. I would pretty much do anything I wanted and thought I was OK because I was a Christian.
I sense have learned I was wrong, To be a Christian you have to be like Christ, Let Christ rule your life, etc….
As for the Church
We don't celebrate Easter as many do once a year.
Every Sunday we remember and focus on Jesus sacrifice and resurrection when taking the Lord's Supper. As Jesus said “Do THIS in remembrance of Me” when handing out the bread and fruit of the vine.
Paul restated this to the Church in 1 Cor 11. Other passages showed they did this on the 1st day of the week.
I feel every Sunday is pretty much the same as Many celebrate Easter.
Can't find where God / Jesus / His Apostles every taught anything about celebrating Easter or like once a year so we don't do it. Not Judging others as people putting one day over another really doesn't matter unless it impacts what God does say. Example if you say we only remember Jesus death once a year and don't do it when he asked then it may become a problem. I don't think many do that, like the ones you see at Church all the time.
