The Great Vigil of Easter is one of the oldest Christian worship services and is the first celebration of Easter, taking place after sunset on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Our Great Vigil of Easter is drawn from the PCUSA Book of Common Worship and will include a Service of Light and a Service of Readings. We will begin outside in the darkness awaiting the Light of Christ. It will conclude with the joyful singing of “Jesus Christ Has Risen Today.”
This service will be followed by our traditional Paschal Feast, which will feature lamb stew. Everybody is invited to bring a dish to share. Come and join us
