Church to host Easter sunrise service, breakfast

Safe Harbor United Methodist Church (UMC) will host an Easter sunrise service and community breakfast on Easter Sunday, March 31, at 7 a.m.

An historic lime kiln near the church, which looks like the open mouth of a tomb, will provide the dramatic setting for the annual event. Participants from previous years have reported that gathering by the "empty tomb" in the crisp morning air helps make the message of Christ's resurrection come alive.

Music and a short service will be followed by a free community breakfast at 7:30 a.m. in the church's Carter Hall. Parking will be available in the Safe Harbor Church parking lot at 3687 River Road, Conestoga (near Safe Harbor Park).

The Rev. Dominic Tuttle, the new pastor of Safe Harbor UMC, will officiate, along with the Rev. Dave Ryan, Conestoga UMC; Pastor Jeff Miller, Highville UMC; and Pastor Kevin Kresge, Marticville UMC. Kresge will provide special music.

The service will be outdoors, so attendees should dress for the weather. Breakfast registrations are appreciated, but not necessary. To register for the breakfast, call the church at 717-872-6910 and leave a message.
