This year Capt. Rob Reardon, Divisional Youth Secretary will be the speaker. Right after the sunrise service we will rush back to the corps where we will have a Potluck brunch around 9:45 'ish'. This will be followed by more fellowship for the adults, while the children partake in the Easter Egg Hunt. Then at 11:00am we will have our usual morning worship service.
