YMCA Executive Director Phillip Doiron started things off by welcoming everyone and introducing YMCA Board of Director’s President Blake Teller and ministers James Archer and Beth Palmer.

Archer delivered the sermon where he shared the story of when Jesus had risen on the third day after his crucifixion.

The Easter Sunrise lasted for about 45 minutes and the YMCA will continue their tradition next year.
