Thousands expected to attend Easter Sunrise Service at the Lincoln Memorial

WASHINGTON – It’s an annual tradition, and Sunday morning, thousands are expected to gather on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the Easter Sunrise Service.

Last year, the service included a smartphone-friendly prompt from Pastor Amos Dodge of Capital Church in Vienna, who invited attendees to tweet.

This year, another technology aspect will be added, as the service will be streamed online.

“The idea to make the service available via live-stream came from a conversation I recently had with a gentleman while on a trip in Dubai. He pleaded with me to make the service available via internet and told me how he would personally gather a large group of people to view the service there,” Dodge told CBN News.

This is the 37th year for the service at the Lincoln Memorial, which begins at 6:30 a.m.
