Whatcom County Easter Sunrise Service

Whatcom County Easter Sunrise Service We sit on hay bales on the hill for the worship service, followed by breakfast of cinnamon rolls, hot chocolate and coffee in our barn. Dan and Emily Gibson

A rural hilltop non-denominational Easter sunrise service open to all has been held on our mid-Whatcom County farm on Central Road, between Hannegan and Noon Roads, for nearly four decades. When we purchased Walnut Hill Farm from the Morton Lawrence family in 1990, part of the tradition of this farm was a hilltop non-denominational Easter sunrise service held here for the previous 10+ years. We ha

ve continued that tradition, with an open invitation to families from our surrounding rural neighborhood and communities, as well as our church family from Wiser Lake Chapel, to start Easter morning on our hill with a worship service of celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. At our annual Easter Sunrise Service in Whatcom County, we develop a different Easter theme each year through use of scripture readings and songs, led by Dan Gibson. As many of the people who attend come from some distance from all over the county, we try to conclude by 8 AM so they may have time to get to morning church services. We invite all to come to our farm to participate in this traditional service of celebration. Please dress warmly with sturdy shoes as you will be walking through wet grass to reach the hilltop. Bring heavy blankets or sleeping bags to wrap up in if it is a chilly morning. In case of rain, we meet in the big red hay barn on the farm, so we never cancel this service. If you would like more information and directions to our farm between Hannegan and Noon Road, please email us at [email protected] or message us on this page.

So what do I believe actually happened that morning on the third day after he died?…I speak very plainly here… He got up.  He said, “Don’t be afraid.” Love is the victor.  Death is not th…

We're watching the rain predictions for Easter morning - our hope is to have our service outside on the hill as long as it is not pouring rain - then we move it to the big red hay barn. Plan for possible drizzle or mist if we are outside, and wet grass underfoot. See you tomorrow morning and we'll send an update as we watch the weather forecast...

The weather forecast for Easter Sunday March 31, is for a chilly sunny morning. Plan to dress warmly, wear sturdy shoes for the short walk up to our farm hill, and bring blankets/folding chairs since our hay bale seating is first come-first serve. See you Sunday!
