Easter-EmptyTomb

    Hi Worship Background folks,

    Every year I struggle to find graphics for Easter, so I created this. Feel free to take it and use it for your slides this Sunday. I put our sermon title large in a nice, scripty font on the upper left corner, with a dark brown shadow. Or if you want to use it for lyric slides, just darken it. I hope someone can use it! Let me know! Happy Easter!!

      Hi, this file's permissions aren't set for others to download.. :(

      This is beautiful! I wanted to do something like this last year and was informed that those far from God wouldn't understand the context of the rock being rolled back. I think sometimes we assume everyone knows the story...Again - beautiful...I wouldn't have pulled this off as nicely as you have.

      Oh bother...so sorry. Thanks for letting me know. I'm new at this, AND confused. It says this photo is public, and when you go to "All Sizes" it allows me to download. Then, when I go to edit the "All rights reserved," it only gives options for attributions...which I don't want any. Should I just pick one of those? Any recommendations or help?

      Natalie...thanks for your feedback! Obviously this is being shown during a sermon on the resurrection, so if someone didn't get the image, I sure hope they get it once they hear the sermon! :o)

      hi there, this certainly makes for a beautiful easter background. :) however, i'm unable to download this at a larger size. i guess you will have to edit the part about who you'll allow to download the images under your privacy and permissions settings.

      So sorry...finally figured out how to do that! It's now available for anyone who wants to use it!

      Thanks, all! So glad you can use it! (And Joanne, thank you for the trophy....I'm honored!)

      I do the graphics for our church every week (and have for years), but the hardest ones for me to do are always for Easter and Christmas, since we can't use movie stills of "Jesus" that look realistic. But those are the most important days of the entire year!

      Anyway, glad to find this group...where we can share with each other!

      Blessings to you all and hope you had a marvelous Easter celebrating the Lord's resurrection and amazing gift of salvation!

      Yes, you all are free to use this however you'd like (except for re-sale). May the Lord draw you close to Himself this Easter season!

      Hey, thinking about using it on our homepage for the Icelandic Lutheran Mission. Just as a small article icon. Can I?

      A brilliant visualization. I used it for a 54" X 100" banner to hang from our sanctuary rafters for Easter 2010, using Photoshop to extend the background color formations down behind a large superimposed "Risen... indeed!" The people loved it. Blessings to you. St. Andrew's United Church, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

      What a blessing to find this picture! It is perfect for the sermon notes I am creating this week! What do you use to create your work? It is marvelous. Thanks so much for sharing. Maybe one day I can return the favor!
