Easter Sunrise Service

The Eventbrite announcement disclosed that Z Ministries, Inc. is the event's organizer. The worship service is free to the public, but organizers urge interested attendees to secure their spot through RSVP.

The sunrise worship will be held at the Bayside or Orca Stadium of SeaWorld Orlando. The entrance to the venue is at the Sea Harbor Pavilions, located to the right of Ports of Call.

Meanwhile, the gates will open at 5 a.m., but parking lots will be open as early as 4:15 a.m.

The post said organizers wish to make the attendees experience "something special about being together to watch the sunrise Easter morning." 

During the event, Public speaker Tedashii will deliver the Easter Message, while Evan Craft, a Z artist, will be the worship leader.

The post revealed that Craft is the artist behind "Fight on my Knees" and "Be Alright." Meanwhile, Tedashii is expected to deliver "a powerful testimony and is ready to share his message and the Gospel" to those attending the in-person-only gathering on Easter morning.

Eventbrite's announcement expresses the organizer's wish for families to attend the free event. It said SeaWorld Orlando would offer free parking to all guests.

The post further notes that there would be a love offering at the end of the event, but there's an option to donate early via PayPal.

Aside from PayPal donations, the sponsor would also accept tax-deductible gifts sent to Easter Sunrise Service, Inc. at 1065 Rainer Dr. in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

The announcement adds that Easter Sunrise Service Inc., the event's sponsor, said it would not provide goods or services in exchange for the gifts. All donations would be used to support the organization's community outreach services and worship, Eventbrite said.

Further, organizers caution that seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis since they expect the venue to be packed early. Additionally, having a reservation does not automatically grant one a secured seat. Bags would not be allowed inside, too.
