Easter Sunday, March 31st, with Communion at 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. At 7:00 a.m., “Sunrise Easter Festival Worship.” The service begins in quiet darkness with the “dressing of the altar,” commemorating the women of the first Easter making their way to the tomb of Christ to prepare His body for burial, and crescendos with the joyful message the angel of the Lord brought to our world - our Savior has risen from the dead! “He is not here! He has risen just as He said!” The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated as God’s people bask in the glory of the resurrection of our Lord. At 10:00 a.m., our joyful reverence continues with the celebration of our “Easter Festival Worship.” Our Christian hope and rebirth is highlighted, as we hear Scripture readings, choral reminders and a stirring message centering us in the news that sin has been dealt with by Christ’s death and resurrection. “He has risen! He has risen indeed! Alleluia!” The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated as our Christian faith is renewed in the glory of the resurrection of Christ! Easter Breakfast served from 8:15 - 9:15 am! |
