The Great Vigil of Easter 7:30-9:00PM

This liturgy is the high point of the Christian year, the moment when we mark Christ’s resurrection and triumph over death itself. This service from The Book of Common Prayer and appeals to all ages by engaging the senses and the mind. It incudes the Lighting of the New Fire, the chanting of the Exsultet, hearing salvation history, and the Renewal of Baptismal Vows—all before the proclamation that “Alleluia, Christ is risen!” and we all ring handbells as we sing “Alleluia.” We conclude with a short Glow-in-the-Dark Easter Egg Hunt.
