7:00 PM The Great Vigil & First Eucharist of Easter
For Christians, this is the holiest night of the year when we celebrate the passing of Jesus from death to life. Our celebrations begin with the kindling of the Easter fire outside on the front lawn. We process into a darkened church to recount, by candlelight, stories of God’s plan for salvation. Then we celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism, the Church is filled with light, bells are rung (bring one!), and we continue with our first, festive celebration of Holy Communion for Easter.
