​Ninth Annual Easter Dawn Service to be held in Morgan Park

While Easter has long been celebrated in Morgan Park, in 2016 three churches joined together to create a community service. The event is now hosted by seven area churches. Clergy and song leaders gather for prayer prior to the 2019 Community Easter Service. All are invited to attend the half-hour service, held on Easter morning at 7:00 a.m. in Morgan Park.

Glen Cove, N.Y. - The Ninth Annual Community Easter Dawn Service is set to take place in Glen Cove’s Morgan Park on Easter morning at 7:00 am, inviting residents of Glen Cove and surrounding areas to come together for the half-hour-long celebration. Organized by a coalition of seven churches, the service has grown to become a tradition, emphasizing the common thread that unifies those who celebrate Easter.

Originally established in 2016 through the collaborative efforts of three local churches, the Easter Dawn Service now includes eight area churches. This year's host churches include Calvary A.M.E Church, First Baptist Church, Glen Cove Christian Church, Iglesia Ciudad de Refugio, St. John’s of Lattingtown Episcopal Church, Iglesia Ciudad Casa de Dios Internacional, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The bilingual service, conducted in both English and Spanish, opens with "Christ is Risen" echoed in multiple languages, underscoring the universal significance of Easter for Christians worldwide.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a tranquil stroll down to the beach, where the service will be held overlooking Hempstead Harbor. For more information, individuals can visit the official Facebook page of the organizing committee at www.Facebook.com/GlenCoveEaster.
