You are invited to join Faith/La Fe Evangelical Lutheran Church (801 East Camelback in Phoenix) for The Great Vigil of Easter at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 30, 2024.
Gathering in the courtyard after sunset, the new fire will be lit and our new Paschal Candle will be blessed. We’ll follow the procession of the Paschal Candle with our own hand-held candles for the singing of the Easter Proclamation which is followed by the service of readings and sung responses which recount much of the history of God’s salvific deeds for the benefit of God’s people and the whole world.
These readings are followed by the rite for affirmation of baptism, when we renew our baptismal covenant, and this liturgy culminates with the first Eucharist of Easter. If you've never experienced an Easter Vigil or it's been awhile, the richness of this liturgy one to attend. All are welcome!
