EASTER SUNRISE WORSHIP SERVICE
6:30 a.m. in the Amphitheater
This service is outside (weather pending) so please dress accordingly, bring chairs and/or blankets!
This is an intimate service outside as the sun rises while we reflect on that first Easter and our Risen Lord. There will be special music from Jonathan Wolfe and Jody Worrell, and a message from Senior Pastor, Rev. Mike Morgan.
On April 16, 1995 Birmingham UMC hosted its first community-wide Sunrise Service. It was located at the foot of a dam on Providence Road, just east of Bethany Road. People came from far and wide.
When we transitioned to our 63-acre campus in September 2005, our first Sunrise service here occurred on April 16, 2006. What was once a pasture for cows became a sacred space for our outdoor amphitheater. It is located about 200 yards directly south of the front doors of the Sanctuary. We look forward to welcoming YOU to our amphitheater this year again for Easter Sunrise.
