EASTER AT
CROSS OF GRACE
Join us this Easter Season
Let us reintroduce you to Jesus.
Many people know who Jesus is but don't know Jesus. This Easter we'd love to reintroduce you to Jesus of Nazareth. When you truly understand who He is, why He came, and what it means for your life, it is good news. Even if you think you know him, unless it's changed your life you may not know everything about Him. Come meet the man who changed the world.
March 9 - April 13 - We'll celebrate the Lord's Supper weekly at 9 and 11 am at Cross of Grace as we proclaim and remember what Jesus has done.
Good Friday, April 18 - We'll gather at the church for our Good Friday service, at 7:00 pm. Learn more here.
Easter Sunday, April 20 - We'll gather at 9:00 am at the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre to rejoice all together in one service as we reintroduce you to Jesus. Learn more about what you can expect down below.
EASTER SERVICE IN THE CANYON
Join us this year as we gather to celebrate Easter at McKelligon Canyon.
Our service will start at 9am. Doors open at 8:15 am.
Our Service
Our service will take place outdoors in the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre, set in the beautiful setting of the Franklin Mountains. Whether you’ve been to church many times or are attending for the first time you’ll feel comfortable and welcomed. Expect an hour and a half of music, singing, Scripture readings, preaching, and good news. After the service, we’ll have free books and Bibles to give away.
Kids Activities
Kids are welcome in our Easter service and it will be engaging for the whole family. We’ll hand out age-appropriate activity bags and coloring sheets to kids as they enter the theater but we also encourage parents to bring activities for their children.
After our service, we’ll have a party in the outdoor plaza where kids can expect activities like balloon animals, a photo spot, and face painting.
FAQ
Will there be anything for kids? Yes, after the service we’ll have some fun kids activities like balloon animals and face painting.
What should I wear? There’s no dress code, so wear whatever you’ll be most comfortable in. Since our service is outdoors, please dress appropriately for the outdoor weather and temperature. This is one Sunday you’re encouraged to wear sunglasses and a hat at church.
Will there be food or drinks? We will have Easter cookies and water bottles available after the service. You are welcome to bring your own coffee, drinks, and snacks.
What if there is inclement weather? We’ll continue our service through light inclement weather but in an extreme case, we’ll send a text update and post a notice on our website by early Sunday morning. In the event of cancellation, we’ll revert to holding services at our church building.
Where do I park? Follow signs and you’ll be directed to the parking area.
Is there parking or drop-off for those disabled? There are several parking spots designated for those with disabilities right across from the entrance. There is also a drop-off area for those who need it.
