Join us in celebration of the Risen Lord at a variety of worship services
At St. John the Divine, you will find an Easter service that's right for you! From traditional worship in a church decked with beautiful flowers with triumphant music led by the St. John’s Chorale, grand Létourneau organ, brass ensemble, and timpani, to modern worship with music led by the SJD Worship Band and special services planned with young families in mind, you will find a welcome place with our church family this Easter!
Greet the dawn of Easter Day in the Julia Garden with the kindling of the Easter fire, followed by a traditional Easter Vigil service and communion in the Church. Music by the SJD Chorale.
Traditional Easter services featuring familiar readings, joyous choral anthems, and sermon. Following communion, the congregation stands for the St. John the Divine Chorale's triumphant rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus. A festive prelude with organ, brass, and timpani begins at 8:45 am. Nursery and childcare are available for both services. The 9 am service is live streamed and is followed by an Easter egg hunt at 10:30 am.
Choose from one of two Easter services planned for young children and families at 3 pm Saturday and 9:15 am Sunday in the Hall Life Center. These services are modeled after our regular Sunday morning Awesome Worship Service and include communion and interactive sermons just for children. Easter egg hunts will follow both family services.
Modern Easter worship at the Table is rooted in the Episcopal liturgy with modern music and hymns led by the SJD Worship Band. This service is live streamed. All egg hunters are asked to come early for the 10:30 am Easter egg hunt.
Gather in the Chapel on Easter evening for an intimate service in this sacred and special space. Hymns accompanied by the Chapel organ.
Your family can choose from two egg hunts: the first after the 3 pm Saturday service, and the second at 10:30 am on Sunday morning. Refreshments will be available after each hunt.
