Join us early on Easter morning for a Sunrise Service starting at 7 AM at Crescent Lake Park, where several United Methodist congregations from across the area will gather together to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus as the day begins. There is something powerful about greeting Easter at dawn—being outdoors as the light slowly fills the sky and remembering the story of that first Easter morning when the women came to the tomb at daybreak and discovered new life.
This gathering is calm, simple, and open to everyone. You do not have to belong to a church to attend. Whether you come regularly to worship or are simply looking for a peaceful way to begin Easter morning, you are welcome. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and join neighbors from across our community as we share prayers, music, and the Easter story surrounded by the beauty of creation.
