Crossroads Church holds Easter service in Bellbrook

BELLBROOK — Crossroads Church has two in-person Easter Sunday services planned at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. at Bellbrook Middle School.

The service will include a full band worship set and creative elements.

This will be the first time since last Spring that the church will have in-person services.

“I can’t believe it’s already been a year,” said Andy Reider, community pastor at Crossroads Dayton. “When everything initially shut down, we along with every other church and a lot of organizations, had to figure out how do we pivot.”

That pivot came in the form of online services.

Crossroads have used digital technology to provide live streams to its parishioners since the pandemic brought in-person worshiping to a stop. Pastors at the church say those live streams will stay even as churches reopen to in-person worship.

Crossroads has filmed a special online Easter service at The Arcade in downtown Dayton, which has seen a resurrection of its own as new businesses have started moving in.

The service will be available online this weekend.

If attending the Sunday morning service the church would like to remind everyone that Covid precautions like masks and social distancing will be observed.
