Join us for this most holy night of the Church year. Tonight we will light the large Easter candle in church. We will bless water, fire, oil, and welcome people to the font of baptism. We will welcome to the altar for the first time those who have been preparing for such a gift. Our Elect will join us for the first time to receive communion. We will renew our own lives of faith as we welcome those who are new to our community. Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
