has sunrise service

CHEWSVILLE, Maryland—More than 40 people attended a 35-minute Easter sunrise service conducted by New Life Community Church

The congregation sang worship hymns, and Pastor Richard Kissel gave a message on the events of the first Easter Sunday morning of almost 2,000 years ago. Then the women, led by JoAnn Thompson, wife of elder Wilmer Thompson, prepared a breakfast for all present.

After breakfast, the congregation had a Resurrection Sunday worship service.

Mr. Kissel asked the six people he baptized the day before to come to the front of the congregation. Then he ordained Gerald Varner as a deacon and Linda Smith as a deaconess. These were the first baptisms and ordinations in the congregation in years.
