Local Churches Preparing for Easter Sunday Services

An Easter Sunrise Service is planned to go along with the many Easter Sunday Services being offered throughout Dixon.

Local churches are getting ready for one of the most important dates in Christianity.

Easter Sunday is this weekend and the day will begin in Dixon with an Easter Sunday Sunrise Service at Hall Park's Amphitheater. Organized this year by Living Hope Church's Impact young adult group, the sunrise service is a long-standing tradition in Dixon and a way to start Easter Sunday services in town.

"The whole purpose is it’s a community sunrise," said Colette Boicelli, one of the organizers of this year's service. "It’s not about one church or one demoition it’s about all who believe in God, in the resurrection."
