EASTER WORSHIP SERVICES: MARCH 31
11 AM | Easter Sunday Worship | Join Online
Join us for traditional worship, including an inspiring message from Rev. Trudy Robinson and festive music performed by our Chancel Choir, our resounding organ, and our long-time music ministry partner Westwind Brass and Timpani! We will be live online starting at 10:45 AM.
Special music includes:
- Easter Proclamation composed by John Ferguson, with words by John A. Dalles. Listeners will particularly enjoy the refrain which threads the entire piece together with the text “Christ has died! Christ has risen!”
- A Hymn of Resurrection composed by brilliant American composer Gwyneth Walker, with text by Jessie Pounds. This is a rousing festival anthem which will feature the brass quartet, as well as the timpani with the choir.
- Jeremy Bankson’s This Joyful Eastertide – a familiar and singable melody for all!
- Handel’s famous Hallelujah chorus from Messiah, performed by the Chancel Choir as a teaser to their special May 4 concert where they’ll be singing Messiah parts 2 and 3.
The service will be concluded with the thrilling Easter tradition, Toccata from Symphony No. 5 by Charles-Marie Widor, on First Church’s resounding pipe organ.
Easter Offering 2024
This year, we will share 25% of our Easter Offering The Harvey Family Foundation, a local nonprofit that has been on the forefront of aiding families in Southeast San Diego affected by the historic floods on January 22nd of this year.
The Harvey Family Foundation stepped up immediately with coordinating aid efforts and delivering badly needed supplies like food, water, and clothing to impacted residents. They are currently supporting residents by helping with temporary housing, and other supplies for those families ready to repair their homes and lives after the catastrophic flooding.
Let us celebrate restored life in Christ with our generous gifts this Easter!
We have special services and events throughout Holy Week 2024. Get the full details.
