Community Easter Sunrise Service

Each year an Easter Sunrise Service is held outdoors at Merritt Commons on Main Street in uptown Roxboro with joint participation by the pastors and congregations of Long Memorial United Methodist, Roxboro Presbyterian, Roxboro Baptist, First Baptist, and St. Mark’s Episcopal Churches.  Rotating year by year, the pastors of these five churches take turns preaching and performing other parts of the service such as offering prayers and reading scripture.  This service offers another great opportunity to express our ecumenical unity in celebrating together the truth at the heart of our common faith: the amazing good news of Christ’s resurrection.
