In the stillness\, before the sun rises\, hearts turn toward the empty tomb and the promise that Christ is risen indeed. \nFor nearly 80 years\, the Colorado Council of Churches has offered this free Easter Sunrise Service\, hosting a sacred moment when worship\, creation\, and the hope of resurrection meet. Here\, surrounded by God’s handiwork\, thousands lift their voices in praise\, seeking renewal\, strength\, and the presence of the risen Lord. \nWe need your help to keep this ministry of hope free and open to all. Rising costs make it increasingly difficult to sustain this powerful tradition\, and we are prayerfully seeking $35\,000 to ensure it continues for generations to come. We ask for minimum gift of $10 to support this worship service. We’re grateful for whatever amount God places on your heart to give. \nAs a token of our gratitude\, donors who contribute $250 or more will receive reserved seating for two and a reserved parking space. With a $500 gift\, you will enjoy reserved seating for four and a reserved parking space. These gifts of appreciation are our way of saying thank you for helping make this sacred celebration possible. Reserved parking and seating are currently on a wait list. Please email Adrian Miller at st***@********es.org to be placed on the waitlist. Please indicate how many parking spots and seats you would like. You will be notified no later than 5 p.m. Friday if you have moved off the wait list.  \nIF YOU MAKE\, or MADE\, AN ANONYMOUS DONATION above $250 and you want seating and parking\, you must email st***@********es.org and provide us with your name. Without your name\, Red Rocks security give you access to reserved parking and seating. \nIf this sunrise has ever stirred your spirit\, or if you believe in sharing the hope of the resurrection with the world\, we invite you to help sustain this meaningful tradition. \nClick HERE to make a gift to keep this Easter tradition alive.\nA portion of the money raised above our $35\,000 goal will be donated to: \n \nWe’d love your feedback!
