I was invited to attend the Easter Morning Sunrise Service and Breakfast at the First Church of God In Christ located at 619 California Ave, here in Topeka.

I got to see some old friends and to meet some new friends. The service was great, the fellowship was great and the food was fantastic. For breakfast they served Grits, sausage, ham, eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, biscuits & gravy, coffee, juice and there may have even been some fresh fruit but I never got that far!

Thanks again to the wonderful people at First COGIC Church for inviting me in and making me feel so welcome.  I am looking forward to many visits in the future!

Located about four blocks directly west of the Kansas Capital, Grace prides itself as being a “House of Prayer for All People”. The church is used for many community activities during the year. Everything from nursing school graduations to silent movies.

One of, if not the most, moving of all the services each year is the Easter Vigil. You walk into a almost totally dark church with everyone very somber and quiet. The service then builds to a joyous event. In this video about 1:30 into the video the choir sings “Jesus Christ Has Risen Today”. The hymn has evolved over the years beginning with the Latin words in the 13th century.
