Sunrise Service
7 am
Restoration House Back Porch

We will gather for our Easter sunrise worship service gather on the back porch of the Restoration House, overlooking the Garden and Prayer Path to celebrate our resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The gospel writers tell us that Mary Magdalene and some of Jesus’ other female followers went to his tomb early in the morning Sunday morning. They went to grieve and to tend to Jesus’ body, as was the custom at the time. When they arrived, they found the stone rolled away, and the tomb empty. Later, they would learn that Jesus, who was crucified, is alive.

Coming to worship on Easter Sunday at an hour and place different than we normally do, offers a sense that something unexpected has happened. Where there appeared to be no hope, there is now hope. Where there was death, there is now resurrection!

Please note: this service will not be livestreamed.

Fellowship Breakfast
7:45 am
Fellowship Hall

The Sunrise Service will immediately be followed by a Fellowship Breakfast. There will be homemade sweet rolls and sausage gravy. We will have a selection of Bojangles biscuits. There will be plenty of fresh coffee and orange juice.

Please Note: There will be no Sunday School on Easter Sunday.

Traditional Easter Service
11 am
Sanctuary

Our traditional service will be at 11am in the sanctuary. You can always look forward to a very friendly and warm welcome, songs of celebration and an inspiring message. Easter.

Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus and is a foundation of the Christian faith. For those who trust in Jesus’ death and resurrection, “death is swallowed up in victory” (1Co 15:54 CEB).

Any person who chooses to follow Jesus has been “been born anew into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1Pe 1:3 CEB). Through faith in the working of God and Holy Spirit, those who follow Jesus are spiritually resurrected with him so that they may walk in a new way of life, in light of God’s love and grace, and receive eternal salvation.

NOTE: If you can’t make it in person, we invite you to join us for a livestream service on Facebook.

At the conclusion of the service we move outside to decorate the cross to symbolize the beauty of new life we have in Jesus Christ.

We invite our families with children to decorate the cross first so there will be plenty of time for the …
