Went to an Easter Vigil last night at a local Episcopal church.  Our #2 grand was being baptized.  Though Miss Kitty was raised Episcopal she had never heard of this service. (Since we been married we've been BaptoMethoPres so it's rare to go back to the Episcopal church.)  It was interesting.  The ceremony starts outside with a fire and the new Paschal candle is consecrated and lit.  Then everyone processes inside, where a liturgy takes place and includes readings from Genesis through the New Testament.   It was a small service <50 people. Nice not to be blasted by rock music of the modern church and enjoy traditional hymns for a change.

Because my wife and spent almost 30years of participating (dare I use the words, performing or producing) in Easter services we tend to avoid the church on this day.

I did get a chance to chat with Jeopardy champion Raymond Goslow.  Really liked him on the program and he's  very nice and personable in person as well.
