The Bucyrus Ministerial Fellowship invites everyone to community-wide, non-denominational worship services this Easter weekend.

“Area pastors are joining together to worship the living God through our resurrected Lord, as a positive sign that our churches are united for the sake of the Gospel and our community,” said to Pastor Bill Strader, Jr. of the First Alliance Church.

The Community Good Friday Service, led by Pastor Joe Platt and other local pastors, is 7 p.m. Friday, April 14 at St. John’s United Church of Christ, 120 S Lane St, in Bucyrus.

The fifth annual Community Sunrise Service is 7 a.m. Easter Sunday, April 16 in the Crawford County Fairgrounds grandstands.  Music starts prior to the sunrise at 6:49 a.m.  The service starts at 7 a.m., rain or shine. It features the Pastors’ Choir and a dramatic recitation of the Easter story by Matt Eichorn.

Also on Good Friday is the Bucyrus Neighborhood Churches’ annual Good Friday CrossWalk through downtown Bucyrus. This journey of prayer for our community starts at 5 p.m. from St. John’s UCC and returns in time for the worship service. All are invited to join the walk at any point.
