Easter services will be held all across the county tomorrow morning as Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In addition to tomorrow’s regular services, churches throughout the community have celebrated Holy Week with special church services and Easter egg hunts.

The Star-News has been asked to announce these Easter services.

Saturday services

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church will hold its Easter Eve Light and Lessons service at 7 p.m.

Christ the King Catholic Church will hold its Easter Vigil Mass at 7:30 p.m.

Easter Sunrise

The first recorded Easter Sunrise Service recorded took place in 1732 in a Moravian congregation. After an all-night prayer vigil, the unmarried men of the community went to the town graveyard to sing hymns of praise to the risen savior.

Many churches in the American South hold traditional sunrise services in cemeteries as a sign of recognition that Jesus no longer lay in the tomb on Easter morning.

Eldridge and Grimes Pond on Sanford Road in Andalusia. Gather at 6:15 for coffee and biscuit. The service will start a 6:30 with Charles Thomas Eldridge giving the message. June Simpson will provide special music.
