"The resurrection of Christ changed the midnight of bereavement to the sunrise of reunion, it changed the midnight of disappointment into the sunrise of joy. It changed the midnight of fear to a sunrise of peace," —Billy Graham, American Evangelist
An Easter Sunrise Service will be held at Breece Memorial Park, located at Rogers & Breece Funeral Home, 500 Ramsey Street. The Easter Sunrise Service will take place on April 20 at 7 a.m. Rev. Vivian Rhone is the speaker. A light breakfast will be served after the service. The Easter Sunrise Service will be held in the Roger & Breece Chapel in the event of inclement weather. Everyone is welcome.
Rogers & Breece has served the Fayetteville and Cumberland County area since 1898.
“The Breece family has been part of the caring community for three generations, so we understand what a special place Fayetteville and Cumberland County are. Over the years, our respect for family traditions, our concern, and attention to detail have meant the kind of caring that has set the standard of quality service throughout the area,” according to their website.
The Breece Family shares their passion concerning the Easter Sunrise Service.
“The Easter Sunrise Service began over 65 years ago through the vision of the late Dr. Baxter Walker of the World for Christ Ministries and has been a beacon of hope and faith.”
In its early years, the rain hindered the service, so the Breece family opened the chapel doors of the funeral home to ensure the event would continue.
“Following the passing of Dr. Walker, the Breece family and Rogers & Breece Funeral Home have proudly sponsored and carried this service. This powerful tradition stands as a testament to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Our Savior, who gave us the gift of life that we never deserved. The service takes place at sunrise to commemorate His resurrection, three days after the crucifixion, inviting all walks to join Him in this celebration of faith, hope, and love. As long as Corey R. Breece Sr and Robert W. Breece Jr are living, this event will remain the cornerstone of our community. The Breece family and staff at Rogers & Breece are honored to sponsor this event for our All America City.”
