Many in our area are getting ready for Easter Services this morning, and matt delucia is at Christ Church in philadelphias old city neighborhood. Reporter the Sunrise Service was at 5 30 this morning. I am getting chills just thinking about what happens in there. In the darkness by fire light ancient tradition, and a powerful meaning for these churchgoers. I am not that much a religious person but i would not miss this, its touching. Reporter on Easter Sunday before dawn they gather outside in old city to worship and celebrate. This is the most moving ceremony that i ever have been to. Its just every one gets involved in it. Once indoors, the darkness you see is important to them. While praying and singing. Reporter the sun brings light into the church. As we move toward the telling of the story of the resurrection, the light is coming up, and we humans need to do things fiscally and we get to feel that story of the going from the darkness into the light.

One of the more Traditional Services happening now, and one started at 9 00, and you may be able to hear faintly one of them singing inside, and interestingly enough, the people that came early this morning came back for this service. Live in philadelphia, matt delucia.

And mike pence is expected to join u. S. And south korean troops for sunday Easter Services. A north korean test missile, possibly similar to this one, blew up shortly after launch. We get the details from our international correspondent, chris pallone. Reporter the launch happened around 5 00 eastern time saturday on sinpo on the east coast. U. S. Intelligence are trying to figure out what kind of missile it was but the early assessment was it was not an intercontinental ballistic missile, not one that could strike the united states. Kim jongun showed off some of the missile technology. Military experts anticipated kim jongun would conduct a missile test to mark the occasion. The u. S. Was prepared to launch a preemptive strike against north korea if officials became convinced the nuclear test was imminent. But a response from the white house is muted. Jim mattis said the president and his military team are aware of north koreas most recent unsuccessful Missile Launch. Former ambassador to south korea said all eyes now tourpb donald trump. Despite everybody telling the North Koreans dont do this, they tried something. It didnt succeed and it actually failed but the question is what is our response going to be.

Chuck todd will be sitting down exclusively with Homeland Security john kelly and john mccain and jack reid of the Armed Services committee and thats here on nbc10. New this morning detectives are investigating a deadly shooting in the kensington neighborhood. It happened around 1 30 this morning, and the woman died at the hospital and no arrests in that case.

Were in the 60s right now and headed to the 70s. s our Easter Sunday as we go through the rest of the day. Low 80s by 1 00 in the afternoon, and tuesday a mix of clouds and sun continues the whole day, and at 7 00 still around 80. A really warm forecast for this Easter Sunday. In the suburbs, 73 by 10 00 a. M. , and 80 at 1 00. 1 00 p. M. , 79 degrees in the Lehigh Valley. And we are looking at just some clouds hanging throughout the evening hours as well. 74 in delaware right around 10 00 a. M. Up to 81 degrees. And then along the shore, upper 70s are forecast highs. At 7 00 we still see a mix of cloud and sun and from 8 00 to 10 00 p. M. We could see a few more clouds and scattered showers, and we will look more closely at that forecast coming up. Thank you. Police are trying to track down this woman. She is suspected of stealing from a chestnut store twice. She was captured on the surveillance cameras on two separate occasions over the past two months. Store managers say her grayhaired unsuspecting appearance helped her blend in with other customers. She is walk all oefrt stores, slowing picking up trays and other items and putting them in a plastic bag. Its shocking when you see her doing it on video, and its so right there in front of you, and just, shoveling stuff into her bag. Managers at the store tell us an inventory check shows they lost 500 worth of merchandise after the two incidents. 12 minutes past 9 00 on this sunday. Just about that time to pay the tax man. Tuesday is the deadline to postmark your tax returns. Important advice on what to do. If you think you are a victim of identity theft. Also, this everybody hits here. Next we will take you to an opening day to remember at a very special south jersey little league. We are starting with a look at your neighborhood temperatures. Philadelphia neighborhoods starting to crank up the neighborhoods, 67 in rittenhouse. Officially at the airport, 66 degrees. 68 in park wood. And when you have 70s and you are in the 9 00 a. M. Hour its going to be easy in the afternoon to say 80s all over the board. Much warmer than average this time of year. Heres a look at the new jersey neighborhood temperatures, very much of the same, in the low 70s. Pensville at 68 degrees. And we are looking at 67 in robinsville. Ho Hopewell Township at 68 degrees. Great conditions to be outdoor through the afternoon, although with the sun breaking through put on the sun screen if you are out for an extend period of time. Skill scattered clouds, but a lot of sunshine mixing in. Spotty showers along the northern viewing area. We are dry and should remain that way through the daylight hours. Heres the hour by hour forecast. A little change overnight. And there are clouds thinning out as we go through 2 00 p. M. You see spotty showers to the north of our viewing area, and then 11 30 in the evening, you see the spot showers picking up. I would not be surprised if philly and jersey and delaware see these very spots, light storms pass through, and we are talking light rain and thats it and its in the overnight hours and most of us will be asleep and will not affect plans for your easter. In philadelphia, 85 degrees. 84 in the suburbs. Lehigh valley up to 82. Mid70s along the jersey shore. As for your wind forecast today, those winds will be cranking up a bit. 17mileperhour sustained in the philly area. The winds are coming in from the southwest, and thats a warm air influence we are pulling in and gusts are to 30 and 40 miles per hour, so windy enough that maybe a little extra hairspray if you are headed outdoors for the ladies. And then 85 degrees for us today, and then we start to see the drop off. 74 on monday, still dry. Tuesday at 66. Then we return to a wet period, wednesday, thursday and friday, showers continuing into monday and tuesday of next week. April can be iffy for baseball, baseball weather that is, and yesterday in south jersey Mother Nature cooperated for a very important opening day. Plenty of excitement on opening day of the miracle league. The league gives children with disabilities the opportunity to get out on the diamond and participate in americas favorite pastime. I get so much gratification from coming out every week and seeing the smiles and seeing them progress. Some kids dont want to go out on the field and they are hitting on the tee and then free hitting, and its just a joy for everybody involved. The kids play at boundless field, and that was built to accommodate kids who might otherwise have trouble rounding the bases. Tax this year is tuesday, april 18th, this week. For some filing electronically they will see their identity has been taken. If that happens, file on paper and accompany your paper filing with an affidavit that you can obtain from the irs website, a form 14309. Mail any correspondence to the irs certified. The traditional tax day has come and gone, but thousands across the country decided to use the occasion to call on donald trump to release his taxes. Theres more than 100 marches, including washington, atlanta, and chicago and palm beach and the idea was to pressure the president to release his returns. In northern california, Trump Supporters and detractors clashed at a rally in berkeley, and police made more than a dozen arrest after fights broke out in the streets. Some used whatever they could find, even dumpsters, at weapons. And there were peaceful rallies here in philadelphia. We demand your taxes now. Demonstrators chanted and carried signs in their march to independence hall. They believe the president has an obligation to respond to the demands of the american people. President trump said the only people interested in his tax returns are reporters. Melissa mccarthy was back with a white house easterthemed saturday night live sketch. Happy easter, everybody. By the way, the president is probably going to bomb north korea tonight. Okay. Just ahead, well have more on her take of sean spicer and other snl guest appearances. And feeding the hungry.

The church gathered sticks and branches from the Burial Ground as kindling for fire, and then they moved in the church in darkness. They did that until the sun rose and came through the windows there. I spoke with some of the faithful there earlier right after the service. They dont just wake up and come to the service, they come to the service and almost everybody here will come back to the 9 00 or the 11 00 service. Thats how dedicated they are. And the 9 00 service is happening right now.
