Families, friends, and neighbors gathered Monday evening at the Fallon Convention Center for a simple but meaningful message — He is Risen.
The interfaith Easter celebration brought together members of multiple churches and the broader community for an evening of worship, music, and reflection centered on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Mary Sorenson, communications director for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Fallon, welcomed those in attendance and emphasized the purpose behind the event and creating an opportunity for people of different congregations to come together in worship.
“We need to sing and worship together,” Sorenson said. “It’s one of my favorite things—being able to attend different churches and worship with friends. This is just another way to do that here in Fallon.”
The evening carried a relaxed and welcoming tone, with participants encouraged to come as they are. Local children, dressed in their Sunday best, took part in musical performances, adding a heartfelt and joyful element to the gathering.
Community and civic leaders were also in attendance, reflecting the broad support for the event and its message of unity.
An opening prayer by Marc Williams focused on gratitude, faith, and the shared opportunity to gather across congregations, something speakers noted is not always common, but deeply valued in Fallon.
Throughout the evening, the focus remained simple: faith, community, and the reminder of hope that Easter represents.
