Easter Sunday - Sunrise Services Around Toronto

If you're new to Toronto or your congregation is not having a sunrise service, here are a few of the many churches around Toronto that will be worshiping near daybreak on Easter Sunday. This list is by no means exhaustive, and if you do have a local church you attend I highly recommend inquiring with them first to see if there's a service they are directing the congregation towards.

Easter Sunrise Service - Yonge-Dundas Square

In the past, YDS Square has hosted a sunrise service with various area churches at an event where all faiths are welcome. At time of writing, details for 2013 had yet to be announced. Check the website for updates.
