EASTER AT COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS, 2017
Visit our Easter table in the lobby after each service to receive free Easter apparel and have any questions answered.
Before we can celebrate Easter Sunday, we must remember the price paid on Good Friday. Our Good Friday service is geared to be an intimate experience where you and your family can remember and reflect on the death of Jesus on the Cross. This year, we will hold one Good Friday service at College of the Canyons Stadium on April 14th at 6:30 p.m. This is a family-friendly service, and no childcare will be available. The service will last an hour and consist of worship, reflection, and communion with our church family.
PrEaster is an opportunity for your family to come together at the College of the Canyons field on the day before Easter. We’ll have bounce houses and face painting for small children. We’ll also host a variety of pick-up games for adults and kids. Bring your family, a blanket, and a ball or two on April 15th from 5:00-9:00 p.m. for a PrEaster celebration together.
Easter Sunday on April 16th starts promptly at 8:00 a.m. with breakfast for you and your family, and our service starts at 9:00 a.m. Within our service, we will sing, celebrate, worship with our church family, and hear an encouraging message from our Senior Pastor.
Easter lilies are available at the Easter table. If you would like to honor a loved one at our Easter service, you can reserve an Easter lily for $20. You can take your lily home with you after service on April 16th.
GO MINISTRY
Ricardo and Vonna Morales shepherd Iglesia Biblica Esperanza, a Spanish speaking church plant meeting on the campus of The Master’s University, and they are our Global Partner Spotlight for the month of April. They have been excited to see their church grow from only 3 people to 50! Their hearts are to see the Spanish speaking community in the Santa Clarita Valley come to know Christ through the Spanish-English services, Bible studies, and outreach through teaching English as a Second Language to those in the community.

TEN
TEN is a mission we launched on our ten-year anniversary, when the Crossroads family, by God's grace, commits to giving our lives away in three ways. First, is by planting ten healthy Bible-teaching churches. Second, is to build out and pay off the Valencia Crossroads' main campus within the next ten years. Last, is to identify, select, and financially underwrite the cost to send ten teenage orphans to the Master's University. Join us. Together, we can invest in the future today by making your check out to TEN or donating online at lifeatcrossroads.org/give. All contributions to TEN are tax-deductible under IRS guidelines.
