Easter Service With Music
Easter Day is the annual feast of the resurrection. Faith in Jesus' resurrection on the Sunday - or third day - following his crucifixion is at the heart of Christian belief. Easter sets the experience of springtime next to the ancient stories of deliverance and the proclamation of the risen Christ.
After the Easter Brunch & Egg Hunt, all children are invited to help decorate the Easter Cross with flowers at the beginning of the 10:30 service. The children will enter at the beginning of the processional and decorate the cross while the choir enters the church on Easter Sunday. All flowers will be provided.

Brunch & Children's Easter Egg Hunt
Come and join us for brunch prepared by our parishioners. If you have children, there will be an Easter egg hunt where they can take part.
If you attend, please bring a breakfast/brunch dish, fruit, baked goods, etc. to the parish hall by 9:00 AM on Sunday, April 20 for our Easter brunch.
