Sunrise Service at Fort Hill
Published 12:00 am Saturday, April 11, 2009
Leaders of the YMCA Easter sunrise service stand at Fort Hill in the Vicksburg National Military Park. The nondenominational service, which has been at the park for at least 60 years, will be at 7 a.m. Sunday. The Rev. Mincer Minor of Mount Calvary Church, from left, will read scripture and say a prayer; the Rev. Chris Young of Hawkins United Methodist Church will sing; the Rev. Walter Frazier will deliver the sermon; and the Rev. Kent Campbell of Woodlawn Baptist Church will read scripture and say a prayer. Buses to Fort Hill will roll from the parking lot of the USS Cairo Museum, but particpants must bring their own chairs. If weather is inclement, the service will be canceled.
