This is Michelle’s story.  If you missed the first story, then you can view it here.  We used this at the end of the Phillip’s message right before he presented the gospel.

This Easter at Cedar Creek we decided that one of the most effective ways to tell the story of Easter is to let people who have had their lives radically changed by Jesus tell their story.  So we asked some Cedar Creek people to share their stories.  You can watch the message in its entirety [...]
