The sunrise service started at 6:30 a.m. in front of the Allegheny Observatory in Riverview Park.

There was song and prayer during this outdoor sunrise service.

Even with the rain and chilly temperatures, about a hundred people of all ages turned out sitting on lawn chairs and on blankets while holding umbrellas.
