What was done: The first year this was done, members of Emmanuel, High Point and the associate pastor planned and led the Easter Vigil for Holy Saturday evening concluding with Holy Communion at the Easter Sunrise service. The second year, pastors and congregations from the High Point area were invited to join together and planned an ecumenical Vigil worship. Traditions represented were: Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Reformed and Baptist; lay and ordained people were worship leaders, including youth and adults.

Lent asks us to discipline our lives by praying and meditating on God's Word. We can do this by using a daily meditation guide for Lent, or by using the daily lectionary for the current year found on pages 187-188 in the front of the Lutheran Book of Worship.
