Details for Good Friday & Easter 2021

Outdoors (no live stream available):

Good Friday Service @ 7:30PM
Easter Sunrise Service @ 9:00AM

We are excited to be able to offer outdoor worship opportunities for both the Good Friday and Easter Sunrise services. Since this is a new experience for our AACRC congregation and we are in unusual times, we’ve put together a few important details for our outdoor services:

  • You do not need to sign up to attend either of the outdoor services.
  • We are asking those in attendance to follow the covid guidelines we have been following for in-person worship: masks and social distancing are required. Please do not attend if you are feeling unwell in any way. Please review the Re-Opening blog post or Re-Opening Logistics document.
  • Plan to bring your own chair or blanket to sit on. Tents will be set up in the upper parking lot and available to sit under, but space is limited. Arrive early if you want to be sure to get a spot under the tents. Remember the few extra minutes it may take to settle your family into a spot, setting up chairs, etc.
  • Please park in the lower lot unless navigating stairs is a challenge for you. Tents will be set up in the upper parking lot which will limit parking availability there.
  • Easter Sunrise Service – Our desire is for this to be a family friendly service. If you find yourself in a place where attending in-person worship together as a family is difficult right now, we hope you find this option to be an open and hospitable place for you.

Communion will be served at BOTH Easter morning services.

Inclement weather: The weather looks great right now, but this is Michigan. We will keep watching the forecast and update you on any changes. Our alternate plans for each service are:

  • Good Friday Service: Move indoors–no sign up will be required.
  • Easter Sunrise Service: Move indoors–you will be asked to sign up. Information will be provided for signing up if necessary.
