The Great Vigil of Easter

This event has already occurred

The Easter Vigil begins outside as the Easter fire is lit. Candles are lit and the light slowly grows. We listen to scripture, reminding us of God's enduring love for us and for the world. We renew out baptismal promises. The Christ candle is lit and the good news of Christ's triumph over death is proclaimed.

Readings from Genesis, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Romans, and Luke
Anthems: When the Lord Turned Again (Batten); An Easter Hallelujah (Vulpius)
Solo: Bonemakers Song (Ainsley McNeaney) (Sung by the Reverend Bri-anne Swan)
Postlude: Christ Jesus Lay in Death’s Strong Bands, BWV 625 (J.S. Bach)

We are an Affirming Congregation, offering welcome and companionship to all, inclusive of age, ethnicity, gender identity, differing abilities, and sexual orientation.

The land upon which our church stands has been the traditional home of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit, covered by Treaty 13. It is still home to Indigenous people from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to work, live and worship on this land.
