Easter is Earlier, But Sunrise is Later

It’s a funny thing, but with Easter being so early this year and DST changing in March, sunrise is at 7.34am. Usually, an Easter sunrise takes place about an hour earlier, which makes getting out of bed that wee bit harder. This year, however, everyone can sleep in an extra hour and enjoy the sunrise without bleary eyes!

If you’re looking for a sunrise service, why not join Erin Presbyterian Church members, who gather over at the flagpole of Tate’s School of Discovery, at the top of Cedar Bluff, just before it meets Middlebrook Pike. They sing hymns, say prayers, and read Easter scriptures, whilst waiting for the sun to begin its dance across the sky! The school looks out across the Smokies and is a perfect skyline for sunrise.

The sunrise service is led by their Scottish pastor, John Stuart, and begins at 7.25am . It usually finishes around 7.45am. If you’ve never been to an Easter sunrise service, this may be the best year in a lifetime to attend one. And if you like to hear a Scottish accent, this is the place to be!

Everybody is welcome! And if you prefer to come to a later church service, join us at Erin Presbyterian at 11.00am!
