Easter

The day in the Christian calendar that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is the most important day in the calendar and this year it falls on Sunday, April 17, 2022, with a Son-Rise Service at 7:30 am on the church lawn and a Traditional Easter Worship Service at 9:30 am in the Sanctuary. It is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after March 21; therefore, the date varies from March 22 to April 25.

Easter Season

The season of fifty days from Easter to Pentecost Day. Easter Season is very important in the Christian calendar because it celebrates on the one hand the risen Christ with his appearances and teachings and on the other hand the beginnings of the Christian church. Historically, the term Pentecost was used to refer not only to the last day in the fifty days between Easter and Pentecost but also to the entire period as well. Now the practice is to reserve the term for Pentecost Sunday and to refer to the fifty-day period as the Easter Season.
