35 years ago, the first Easter Sunrise service was held on the Flower Mound.The Easter Service became a yearly tradition that has been carried on by the Summit Club, the Women of Flower Mound, & the Mound Foundation, three of Flower Mounds civic organizations.
This year the 35th Annual Easter Sunrise Service will be Sunday March 23 starting at 07:00am. (Sunrise is at 07:28am. This is later than normal because of the change in Daylight Savings time. Also have a nearly full moon setting at 0807am.)On behalf of the Summit Club, the Women of Flower Mound, and the Mound Foundation, we want to invite everyone to the Service. The Mound is located near the intersection of FM3040 & FM2499. Parking will be in the Tom Thumb parking lot.Because of the nature of native prairie grasslands, comfortable clothing is recommended over your Sunday best.
This year, the youth group of the Valley Creek Church is presenting the service. The Summit Club invites youth groups each year to provide the program.
A short service will be presented ending with a dramatic sunrise.
TheMound is an 11+acre native prairie grassland that rises above the surrounding area. It makes a dramatic backdrop for the Service.Over 300 species of native flowers have been identified on The Mound.
Light refreshments and coffee are being provided by local merchants, and will be available after the services.
Saturday, March 22
