Welcome to Easter Vigil at Peace.

This night with the Vigil we bring to conclusion the celebration of God’s victory in Christ that brings us, the world, and God back together. There are four parts to this celebration.

Lighting the new fire: Christ rising from death brings light into the darkness and brokenness of our world.

Word: With stories from the First Testament we hear that God has always been at work rescuing people. We include examples of rescue in our own time.

Water: We are reminded that via baptismal waters we are united with Christ in his dying and rising. We are renewed in hope for our lives.

Bread and Wine: In reading the Gospel of Jesus’ rising to life, and receiving the bread and wine of the Eucharist we participate in the life that is ours in Christ. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. We celebrate!

Pastor Paul Winterstein will be presiding.
