This is the night of salvation! At the Vigil of Easter, we gather around fire, word, water, bread, and wine, proclaiming through story and song that ours is a God who continuously brings life out of death. On this night we experience again the heart of God’s baptismal promise and the center of our faith: we are claimed and cleansed, renewed in the death and resurrection of Christ. We gather with all the saints of every time and place to celebrate the good news: Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Pastor Dustin, Rev. John Califano, Mother Grace Wilgefortis Ferris and a growing group of ecumenical faith leaders will preside over this evening of worship, interactive art, storytelling, food and community!
Our amazing Hospitality Committee will host a potluck reception following the service. All are welcome to attend!
