On Easter morning, nearly 150 people gathered at Morgan Memorial Park for the Easter Dawn Service, and nearly 3,000 more joined via Facebook Live.
What began in 2016 as a collaboration among three Glen Cove churches has grown to a coalition of seven congregations including Calvary A.M.E Church, First Baptist Church, Glen Cove Christian Church, Iglesia Ciudad de Refugio, St. John’s of Lattingtown Episcopal Church, Iglesia Ciudad Casa de Dios Internacional, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
The half-hour service in English and Spanish, opened with a stirring rendition of “Amazing Grace” by bagpiper Robert Lynch, performed at the foot of a 17-foot wooden cross temporarily erected on the beach.
