Even on Easter Sunday, there’s room for new traditions. Each Easter, Rochester s Gloria Dei Lutheran Church celebrates with ska hymns.
“It was just one of those weird ideas someone throws out there, and next thing I know, I’m spending the next few months arranging those hymns,” said Chris Roberts, director of worship and arts at the church.
