Back in the amphitheater for the first time in several years, the BUMC Sunrise Easter worship service is a special event. You can expect stirring music from Jonathan Wolfe and a powerful message from senior pastor, Rev. Mike Morgan. It is a moving experience to be outside as the sun rises while we reflect on the first Easter and our risen Lord.
All are welcome. Please bring a camping chair and/or blankets and dress warmly! Coffee and goodies will be available after the service.
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.
