Our Inter-denominational Easter Dawn Services

Every year, members of the different Christian Churches in Ashhurst celebrate the Risen Lord - Oh Six Thirty Easter Sunday Morning, on a hillside overlooking Ashhurst - looking east toward the Ruahine Ranges to see the sunrise -  

our SON RISE service 

It is a sacrifice to be there when the dawn is often so cold, but it is well worth the effort, with a view of the sunrise like the image below - Easter 2009.  We place an old rugged cross to provide the symbol of the an empty cross - Christ crucified, died, risen.  It is a good service with songs, readings and periods of silence.   It can be cold, so wrap up warmly

But why not plan to come and celebrate "He is risen!" with us anyway !  You would be very welcome.
