Easter Sunday, what's your service like?

[Joanne Vergin]

I was just wondering what your traditions are at your church. We have a cantata and a message. Does everyone do both or one or the other? What about sunrise? For some that seems to be ging by the wayside. What about where you are

We're not doing sunrise this year (though, we did last year).

We're not doing a cantata this year (though, we did last year)!

Our theme for this year's Easter service is Forgiveness.

We're opening with our children singing a couple of songs they've been singing in Kids Church during this current year (since September), quite up-tempo and glorious!

Then, we will lead with contemporary versions of "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (http://www.cedardalechurch.ca/ChristTheLordIsRisenToday.mp3)", "Because He Lives (http://www.cedardalechurch.ca/BecauseHeLives.mp3)", Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" [the Chris Tomlin version from the new movie, "Amazing Grace (http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/)"], "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (http://www.cedardalechurch.ca/WhenISurveyTheWondrousCross.mp3)". Our offering song is a contemporary, "Crown Him With Many Crowns (http://www.cedardalechurch.ca/CrownHimWithManyCrowns.mp3)".

We are then presenting a play, "Forgiven" (see overview) (http://www.cedardalechurch.ca/Forgiven.html).

We will end the play with "You Are My King (Amazing Love) (http://www.cedardalechurch.ca/YouAreMyKing.mp3)".

God is good!

We'll have a sunrise service on the beach (east coast, so the sun will rise up from the ocean), and have communion there.

We don't have different time or the like, but we do expect a special preacher.

[Doris Grant]

I chose special music only because we are presenting an Easter cantata. We will have normal Sunday School service then the cantata.

I'll be baptizing a baby, but that's about all that's out of the norm. I don't typically do sunrises if I can help it.
