Special to The Bedford Citizen
The 65th annual Easter Dawn Service at Fawn Lake will be held at 6:30am on Sunday, March 27 on the shores of Fawn Lake, at the end of Sweetwater Avenue in Bedford.
Lay representatives from five of Bedford’s churches—St. Paul’s Episcopal, First Parish on the Common (UUA), First Church of Christ (UCC), First Baptist, and St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Parish—will lead the service early on Easter morning. Music will be provided by the Ecumenical Brass Ensemble, led by John Bridgeman.
The ecumenical Easter Dawn service began in 1951 under the inspiration and direction of First Church members Doris (“Mickey”) and Reed Webber, in collaboration with Peg and Charlie Schwerin of First Parish. For most of its history, the service has relied on lay leadership from participating Bedford congregations. This year, the Parish of St. Michael is leading the organizational efforts.
All are welcome to the service, and attendees are invited to an extraordinary community Easter breakfast at First Church of Christ, 25 The Great Road, from 7:15am to 9:00am. Bring you bonnet and your appetite.
In case of inclement weather, the service will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal, 100 Pine Hill Road.
