The Great Vigil of Easter is the largest worship celebration each year
at St. John's, Portsmouth. Hundreds of worshippers usually gather each
year in candlelight to hear the story of salvation (using scripture,
video clips, and a wide variety of sacred and secular music), renew
their baptismal vows, baptize new sisters and brothers in Christ, share
the Eucharistic meal, and continue feasting at an elegant reception that
goes well into the night!
Though this year's shelter in place order makes all that
impossible, you are invited to catch a flavor of this amazing annual
Easter celebration on their
Facebook page
as St. John's Church celebrates The Great Vigil & First Celebration
of Easter Online this Saturday, 4/11, at sunset (7:42pm...the beginning
of the Third Day!).
