      Easter Vigil Service: Saturday March 30th at 8 p.m

      March 21, 2024 by Sebastian Meadows-Helmer

      Come for this special multi-part service that bridges the gap between Good Friday and Easter Morning! Each section will be in a different part of the building as we continue our Lenten pilgrimage to the great proclamation of the resurrection of Christ. Highlights will include the lighting of the Easter Fire, handheld candles, a baptism, and a reflection on Old Testament stories foreshadowing the salvation that is to come. The roughly two-hour-long service is jointly organized between St. Matthews, Kitchener, St. Luke’s Kitchener and St. Paul’s Bridgeport. Use the Office Entrance (off the parking lot) to enter.

      "Like the children of Israel who watched and waited through the night for the Lord of the Exodus, we too come together this night to watch and wait for the Lord of the Resurrection. We come, as Christians have come since the first century, to keep vigil and to prepare ourselves for the arrival of the one who is our host and guest at the Easter feast to come.”
