Easter Sunrise Service on Wrightsville Beach

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Wrightsville Beach saw hundreds of people gather early Sunday morning for a sunrise service in celebration of Easter.

The Easter Sunrise Service was held at Beach Access 19, located just north of Johnnie Mercer’s Pier on North Lumina Avenue. The event began at 6:30 a.m.

This year’s event was hosted by three churches including Wrightsville Beach Baptist, Wrightsville Beach Methodist and Little Chapel (Presbyterian USA).

Attendees took part in worship, prayer, and a gospel message as the sun rose over the ocean. Sam Hatch led the worship music, and Pastor John McIntyre of Wrightsville Beach Baptist Church delivered the message.

Following the service, guests were invited to continue fellowship over coffee at Little Chapel on the Boardwalk.
