WGTS 91.9 Celebrates Easter at Lincoln Memorial

For the third year in a row, WGTS 91.9 partnered with National Community Church to welcome listeners and guests to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the Easter sunrise service. Started in 1979 by Pastors Amos and Sue Dodge when 127 people gathered on those steps, the event has since grown to record attendance this year of close to 10,000 people. They came together to sing praise songs to Jesus and to hear words of hope.

National Community Church lead pastor Mark Batterson offered a message of unity around the power of Christ’s resurrection.

“We represent hundreds of churches, but it’s not about the name over the church door,” said Batterson. “It’s about the name above all names. ‘At that name, every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.’ And we’re here to lift high His name.”
