This short and reflective service adapts the ancient Christian practice of the Easter vigil around a bonfire. We gather with prayer, Scripture and song to experience the world turning from shadow to light on Easter morning. The service will also include a water blessing in remembrance of our baptisms. In case of inclement weather, we will gather in the AYMC (Reception level) to watch the sunrise over the Reedy River.
