Twenty-two members of the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church held a sunrise service on Easter morning at the site of their new building at 809 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
While the building won’t be finished until this fall, members received permission from Hickory Construction to use the site for this special purpose, provided they each wore hard-hats. So, it was with a light spirit that the small group celebrated the in-breaking of a new light, of new life, and the resurrection of Jesus.
As minister, the Rev. Jake Morrill, said: “All of us are unfinished works of art. Each of our lives, a cathedral under construction.”
After readings from scripture, and a hymn, the group toured the building, then went dispersed for coffee and breakfast before the main service at the congregation’s long-time church building at 1500 Oak Ridge Turnpike, where Kroger is currently completing a new development project.
