    When I lived in KC from 74-84, there was an Easter sunrise service in a cemetery in Raytown. I'm planning a trip to KC over Easter. Does this still exist? It was awesome!

    Karin, thank you for these area resources for Easter Services. I live in Southcentral Kansas, and if I did not already have a home for worship, I would visit the nearest of these to me. Thanks for a great resource and I appreciate your providing this for some who are in the area. Well done Karin. Thanks. :-)
