Island Sunrise Service - Pictures and thoughts by UseppaGin - Just before sunrise Islanders gather quietly on the beach. Pelicans go about their morning diving for fish. Gentle music breaks the silence, and then well-chosen words of welcome to the diverse community celebrating Easter. All are welcome. As the sun slowly rises, Christian believers of different faiths join those with different beliefs about God, agnostics who question, and atheists who say there is no God. Useppa is a family, and on Easter we honor that which brings us together. We give thanks.
