Wallace State Community College’s 5,000-seat Tom Drake Coliseum will be the site of an Easter Day event being put on by Daystar church at 10 a.m. Sunday.
According to Pastor Jerry Lawson the church is combining its usual three weekend services into “one huge service.”
The “Easter with Daystar” event was launched with a publicity campaign that included the use of seven billboards, 1000 yard signs, 1000 T-shirts, radio ads, a 20,000-home phone blitz and 20,000 personal invitations.
The church also went all out in planning the production of the event itself.
“We are bringing in top-notch professional sound, lighting, and video companies from all over Alabama,” Lawson wrote in a letter to The Times.
“We really believe this may be the biggest religious event in the history of Cullman County,” Lawson added. “There are over 200 community volunteers working to make this happen.”
