Easter-

Great Vigil at Sunrise  : 7:30am

Festival Easter Service 10:00 am

We will gather Sunday morning to celebrate the deepest, most important truth we know—that in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God has entered into our world to bring hope, healing, and new life. Jesus embodied God’s unstoppable love so completely that he became a threat to nearly everyone around him, and he was hung on a cross for refusing to compromise or set limits on that love. On Easter Day the church proclaims that death was not the last word for him, that God raised him to new life, and in doing that has opened the possibility of healing and hope for everyone.

Easter promises that, as with the first disciples, we too can know this risen Lord and can find our lives being filled with his life. So our celebration (this morning) is not simply about an event long ago, but about how the miracle of resurrection can take place in us.

About the Great Vigil:

The principal (first) service of Easter Day is called The Great Vigil ... Not because it is a vigil but because it is the celebration of the end of the three day vigil that began at sundown on Thursday. So, no matter whether it is held after sundown on Saturday or as the first service on Sunday morning before sunrise... the first service of Easter is the Great Vigil. Remember sundown in   Church time is the beginning of the day...so at sundown on Saturday,  Easter Day begins...

Since it is the tradition in many busy churches to have that service at or shortly after sunrise, instead of at sundown on Saturday. There is the addition of the Service of Light.... that is, worshipers will get to be witness to the lighting of the Paschal candle from the "new fire" and seeing it used to bless the baptismal waters in the font... Which is very very special...like a gift for being an early morning person.

 
The Great Vigil celebrates the night when Christ broke the bonds of death and rose victorious from the grave. We come together to hear the ancient stories of God’s redeeming work, moving from darkness to light. Our worship moves from the solemn chant of the Exultet, sung by our very talented Music Director, Brenda Salvi, to joyful song, as we celebrate the glorious Resurrection.

We rejoice with those throughout the world who receive the sacrament of Holy Baptism on this day by renewing our own baptismal vows. This is the holiest time of the Christian year as God in Christ invites us into new life.

There will be a point in this service when worshipers are encouraged, ring bells (please bring your own), or shake key chains, stomp your feet, clap your hands, whistle, sing out, or shout with joy…. to announce joyfully the Resurrection.
