Easter sunrise service at Maryville College
- Thu, Mar, 24, 2005
Community members are invited to Maryville College’s annual Easter Sunrise Service will be held at 6:45 a.m., March 27, at Lloyd Beach.
The Rev. Anne D. McKee, Maryville College campus minister, will deliver the sermon entitled “Fear, Trembling and Joy.” A group of brass musicians will play for the service.
Scripture for the sermon will be the Resurrection story, as told in Matthew 28:1-10.
Lloyd Beach is located behind Lloyd Hall, on the southeastern end of the campus, and offers a view of the sun rising over the Chilhowee Mountains.
The service is casual, and attendees who are not able to stand during the service are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets.
“It is a blessing to worship on Easter morning with a broad community of people from various churches, and in a place where we can imagine the beauty of the garden, looking out over the mountains,” McKee said. “We invite everyone to join us.”
A light breakfast will be served following the service on the Willard House porch. (In the event of rain, the service will be held in the Center for Campus Ministry.) For more information on the College’s Easter Sunrise Service, contact the Center for Campus Ministry at 865-981-8299.
