Easter Vigil Pilgrimage

This is the story of our Easter Vigil Pilgrimage. We're sharing the stations here, and invite you to make this journey with us as we celebrate resurrection together.

Gathering

Gathered around a fire, we share the ancient greeting of the Easter Vigil:
Light of Christ. Thanks be to God.

The pilgrims on the journey assemble into small groups, each carrying a vigil light, taken from the flames of the fire. They'll carry the candle as they visit each of the scripture stations, sharing in stories of salvation.

God's goodness in creation: Genesis 1:26-2:4a

A covenant with Noah: Genesis 9:8-13

Freedom across the Red Sea: Exodus 14:21-25

An invitation to life--for everybody: Isaiah 55:1-11

Life from Dry Bones: Ezekiel 37:1-14
