Easter Together Sunrise Service

Churches all over Orange County and Southern California will gather to
celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ at sunrise on Easter Sunday.  However, a group of local churches in San Clemente will hold their Easter Sunrise Service together as a demonstration that people can reach across the things that divide them in order to join together in a display of love for God.

Easter Together was featured in the national publication
Outreach Magazine.  Outreach reports “churches in Orange County,
California displayed Christian unity in their Easter Together service.” 
All of the participating churches reside in San Clemente, most are
non-denominational and the average weekend attendance at each church
ranges from 120 to 800.

Ron Sukut, Pastor of Cornerstone Christian Fellowship says…


“Our Easter Together Sunrise Service provides a
wonderful opportunity for the community to gather as the city wide
church. Worshiping together like this is an awesome way to celebrate the
life changing event of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We encourage
everyone in San Clemente to join us for this glorious event.”


Mark Ambrose, Pastor of Pacific Coast Church says…


“Easter Together is like a glimpse of heaven when one day the church will be united in the presence of the Lord.”


Chris Smith, Pastor of South Coast Church International says…


“Coming together as ‘the Church’ on Easter is truly something of
God and demonstrates to the world just how real He is.  This is not a
promotional idea for our churches, but the laying down of all those
things to simply, joyfully and in unity celebrate the most important
thing in History!”


Holland Davis, Pastor of Calvary Chapel San Clemente says…


“Easter Together demonstrates just how real our commitment to loving each other and loving God in San Clemente.  Our togetherness is really an overflow of the friendships we've built as pastors over the years.”


Easter Together is being held 6:30 am April 20 at Vista
Hermosa Sports Park located at 987 Avenida Vista Hermosa, San Clemente,
CA.  For more information visit eastertogether.com.


Easter Together is a community event that reflects the values of
diverse groups of people working together which makes San Clemente such a
great place to live.
