- Following the tradition of the day beginning at sundown, this marks the first moments of our Easter celebration. This interactive and fun worship service is in four parts, beginning with lighting a fire, a symbol of the returning light. We then hear a series of Bible stories that tell of God’s love for us since creation. Third, we remember the gift of baptism and touch the water that reminds us of new beginnings. The service ends with communion, the feast of Christ’s love to which all are invited.
