The annual Easter sunrise service in Redlands will have a new location this year. Instead of being held at the Redlands Bowl, the service will take place at Vine Street Park on April 4, 2024.
The decision to change the location was made by the Redlands Easter Sunrise Service Committee, who felt that Vine Street Park would provide a more intimate and peaceful setting for the service. The park, located at the corner of Vine Street and San Bernardino Avenue, is known for its beautiful landscaping and serene atmosphere.
The service, which has been a tradition in Redlands for over 50 years, will begin at 6:00 am. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot and bring their own chairs or blankets to sit on. The service will feature music, prayers, and a message from a local pastor.
In addition to the change in location, the committee has also announced that this year’s service will have a theme of “Renewal and Hope.” This theme was chosen to reflect the current state of the world and the need for positivity and faith during these challenging times.
The Redlands Easter Sunrise Service Committee is made up of representatives from various local churches and organizations. They have been working diligently to ensure that this year’s service will be a memorable and meaningful experience for all who attend.
The committee is also taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of attendees. Face masks will be required and social distancing measures will be in place. Hand sanitizing stations will also be available throughout the park.
The Redlands Easter Sunrise Service has always been a beloved event in the community, bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate the holiday. The change in location this year is seen as a way to revitalize the service and make it more accessible to the community.
The committee hopes that the new location will attract a larger crowd and provide a more inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. They also hope that the theme of “Renewal and Hope” will resonate with attendees and bring a sense of comfort and inspiration during these uncertain times.
So mark your calendars and join the Redlands community at Vine Street Park on April 4, 2024 for a beautiful and uplifting Easter sunrise service. Let us come together to celebrate the holiday and find renewal and hope in the midst of these challenging times.
