A Short Las Vegas Church Guide: Holy Week and Easter 2008
Easter is my favorite holiday of the year, and I try to get ready far ahead of time. Sometimes I feel like Easter gets blown over in our busy culture, and I wish it had an extended holiday season like Christmas. This Easter is the closest to having it’s own holiday season because it’s early enough to coincide with Spring Break! That makes it one of the few chances to celebrate with a BANG!
For some readers here in the Las Vegas valley, you may want to celebrate this holiday in a BIG WAY by joining hundreds to thousands of people who are going to church. If you don’t know where or when to go, I’ve compiled the “Short Las Vegas Church Guide: Holy Week and Easter 2008″ (by alphabetical order):

Ps. Click on the LV Churches Category (or Click Here) to find “Reviews” for a few of the churches mentioned. These reviews are designed to let you know what you can expect when visiting, but they are not intended to give a ranking for comparison (ie I don’t give churches “Two Thumbs Up!” or “Five Stars!”). I don’t feel that ranking churches in such a manner is fair or healthy.
