CROSSWALK Coming to Bradford – Open Arms to Host for the First Time at New Location

On Friday, April 18, churches from across Bradford will gather for the annual CROSSWALK, a Good Friday event hosted by the Bradford Area Ministerium. The CROSSWALK is a public, community-centered walk that stops at several local churches for short messages and worship focused on the story of Jesus’ journey to the cross.

This year marks a special milestone for Open Arms Community Church—we’ll be hosting one of the stops for the first time ever at our new location: 71 Congress Street.

We’ll be welcoming walkers and community members between 1:15 and 1:35 PM for a brief word and time of reflection.

Here’s the full schedule:

• St. Bernard’s Church – Noon to 12:20 PM
• 1st United Methodist Church – 12:25 to 12:45 PM
• 1st Presbyterian Church – 12:50 to 1:10 PM
• Open Arms Community Church – 1:15 to 1:35 PM
• Church of the Ascension – 1:45 to 2:05 PM
• B-Free Church – 2:15 to 2:35 PM
• Hill Memorial Church – 2:40 to 3:00 PM

Whether you plan to walk the entire route or just stop in for part of it, the CROSSWALK is a simple but powerful way to mark the meaning of Good Friday alongside friends and neighbors. We’re honored to be part of it this year and invite you to join us along the way.
