Sunrise Celebration

Lent, a 40-day period of prayer, penance, and fasting, ends on Resurrection Sunday when the sun comes up.

The location of our sunrise service is significant. We are in a glass-enclosed area that looks East out over the Mississippi River. The setting reinforces the theme of renewal and rebirth as the sun appears over the bluff.

The quietness of the early morning creates an atmosphere of peace and reflection that allows us  to connect with our faith in a profound way.  There is a powerful sense of community and shared experience among the congregation members of several churches.

The worship service provides an opportunity to reflect on His life, death, and resurrection; to remember the love He showed for us all; and to renew our commitment to living lives filled with compassion and grace. All these factors contribute to making Resurrection Sunrise a truly special occasion that touches hearts and souls.

Please set your alarm, go to bed early Saturday night, and join the early morning celebration of Christ’s resurrection.

What better way to ponder new beginnings and hope for the future?
