BETHANIA â Around 6:30 a.m. Sunday, members of the congregation of Bethania Moravian Church started parking their vehicles in the churchâs main parking lot and up on the hill at Godâs Acre graveyard to be part of the Easter Sunrise Service.
The Bethania Moravian Church band played off and on as people walked to the graveyard. Most people wore coats or jackets to protect against the chilly morning temperatures.
About 30 minutes later at sunrise, just under 100 church members of all ages stood in Godâs Acre, which is graced with mature cedar trees and a serene atmosphere.
âThe Lord is risen!â Judy Knopf, the churchâs intentional interim pastor, said after walking from the church and up the hill to join the congregation.
