Scores of residents — children and grandparents alike — gather at the edge of Fawn Lake on Easter morning. On April 1 they will celebrate Bedford’s 67th annual interfaith dawn service at 6:30 am. This year’s weather is expected to be mild, and partly cloudy; in case of inclement weather, the service will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 100 Pine Hill Road.
The Bridgeman Brass Ensemble is expected to accompany the hymns and the service is shared among five Bedford congregations: First Baptist Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, First Church of Christ, UCC, the Parish of Saint Michael, and First Parish in Bedford, UU.
The interfaith service was begun in 1951, by Doris and Reed Webber of the First Church of Christ, Congregational, UCC. For most of its 60+ years, the service has relied on lay leadership from participating Bedford congregations:
New members of the Easter Dawn service committee are always welcome, and new brass players are also invited to participate in next year’s service. Interested? Email [email protected] and we’ll help to make the connection.
