The Great Vigil of Easter -April 19
Unfortunately this year we will NOT be gathering for the Great Vigil of Easter.
Here is some information on how the service has gone in the past.
Saturday night of Easter weekend invites the faithful to gather for what many find to be the most powerful worship service of the church year. Beginning in the dark with several scripture readings, we retell the story of creation, covenant, and faith. Taking time to remember our baptism, we then light lights, ring bells, and sing the praises of God who in this night worked the miracle of resurrection. It’s the first actual celebration of Easter!
Hallelujah! He is Risen!

The week ends where we begin each week: celebrating the Lord’s resurrection on Sunday! Gather for Holy Eucharist, prayer, and joy:
9:30AM at Trinity Memorial
Rev Tony Pompa will be leading the service and holding Holy Eucharist.
