Immediately following the Good Friday service, the Sanctuary was decorated with a mix of Easter lilies, kalanchoes, begonias and mums (whites, oranges and yellows) in preparation for Easter worship.
Easter worship was held on Saturday evening, April 8 at 5 p.m. and on Sunday morning, April 9 at 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Special music included trombones, trumpets, timpani, the Zion Adult Choir, the Ringmasters Bell Choir and two vocal soloists. Each service concluded with Mary Jo Gothmann performing Toccata by Widor.
