SELECT A TIME TO RSVP

RSVP F.A.Q.

Why are we doing an RSVP system this year?
It is our desire that everyone who comes to Easter at Crossroads has the highest quality experience possible. We expect over 6000 people to attend one of the seven Easter Services.  In previous years, large numbers in our services forced people to sit in overflow, families to split up, and even turned people away due to the large numbers.   When you RSVP, it will help us manage parking, seating, childcare and general flow of our services and help distribute people between all services.

Is an RSVP required to attend Easter Service?
No.  Each service will be “first come first served” whether you have an RSVP or not.  RSVP does not reserve your seat, so please come early.

How many RSVP’s are available for each service?
Only 500 RSVP’s will be available for each service.  When all 500 are reserved, we encourage you to choose another service.

Will there be childcare available during the Easter Services?
Yes.  Childcare will be provided from Birth-5th grade.

We have already RSVP’d for a service, but we want to go to a different service?
No Problem. Simply click on “Change Your RSVP” in your confirmation email, call the church office at 970.203.9201 or send an email to RSVP@crossroadscolorado.com with your email address and the service you would like to attend.

Can I RSVP or attend multiple services?
Yes.  Many people invite friends and family with different schedules and want to attend more than one service.  Your RSVP with the number of guests will help us manage our numbers.

Do I need to RSVP to the Good Friday Services?
No.

Jesus Ellipsis reminds us that when it comes to Jesus, there is always more: more to know, more to experience and more to love.

In fact, the Gospel of John ends with John’s admission: This is my testimony; it is true. And Jesus did many other things as well. There’s more… In fact, all the books in the world do not contain enough pages to adequately describe the significance of Jesus Christ.

So we’re devoting the next 4 weekends, plus our Good Friday services, to a study on the life and work of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Ellipsis: there’s always more.

As most of us know, the country of Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake on January 10, 2010. The magnitude 7.0 quake — the most powerful to hit Haiti in a century — struck shortly before 5 p.m. and was centered about 10 miles (15 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince.

For news, updates and prayer requests related to the earthquake in Haiti, visit this Covenant World Relief Blog regularly.

For those who are able, consider donating to orgs doing work in Haiti. There are several relief organizations that already have a strong presence in Haiti, and are currently doing effective work in the aftermath of the tragedy. Crossroads has partnerships with the following organizations:

• Covenant World Relief. This is a relief agency of the Evangelical Covenant Denomination. Crossroads is a member church of the ECC. Covenant World Relief is working directly with World Relief International– a top-notch relief agency with a ground presence in Haiti. Crossroads member, Ray Tollison, serves on the staff of World Relief International.
• World Vision is a Christian organization with a proven reputation for their compassionate and effective work all over the world.

Please consider making a donation to either World Relief or World Vision today.

So let’s gather our family and friends and experience Christmas at Crossroads on December 23 and 24. Thousands will be here to encounter the Love, Joy and Peace found in the presence of Jesus and the people of God.
