The Great Vigil of Easter @ Zion Lutheran


The Great Three Days - the Triduum - has come to a conclusion and tonight we joined the faithful at Zion Lutheran [ELCA] in  nearby Helotes for a Great Vigil of Easter service. 

The service began in the church's prayer garden which overlooks the church cemetery.  It was a delightful setting and the weather was just right in which to be outdoors.

We then joined a procession to the church's Family Life Center where scripture and hymns were shared.  A second procession took us to the Narthex where we joined in the renewal of the baptismal covenant. A final procession took us into the sanctuary for the celebration of Word and Table. 

It was a very special evening for us and leads us into tomorrow's Easter celebration.
