Easter Sunday Potluck Tradition: Did you know that the GJ Unitarian Fellowship began sharing an Easter Picnic at the Monument sometime in the 1940s? That makes this our oldest local tradition! We will meet at the Devil's Kitchen Picnic Area at noon after our service on April 5th. We will eat and then have a festive egg hunt for the kids. Please bring your own table service, chairs, and food to share. We will provide paper goods and filled "eggs" for the kids. The picnic area is the first right turn inside the Colorado National Monument on the East (GJ) side. The Monument charges a $7 per car admission so carpool with your friends. Dress for the weather, we meet rain, shine, or snow!

The Messiah Choral Society of Grand Junction was founded in August of 2004 to present an annual performance of Handel’s classic oratoria, Messiah. The concert is offered each Easter Sunday as a musical gift to the Grand Valley community by members of the Messiah Choral Society and its donors. Admission to the concert is free of charge. This year’s concert will be performed at the Grand Junction High School Auditorium, 1400 N. 5th St, on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015 at 2:30 pm. Informance at 1:45 pm.

Messiah is widely regarded as a musical masterpiece. Written in 1741 it has stood the test of time being performed annually throughout the world. In addition to its musical excellence, Messiah tells the story of Christ in which many find spiritual renewal particularly on Easter Sunday. As in our previous performances, we endeavor to select soloists who are singing with us for the first time and will delight you with the unique and subtle differences each singer bring in telling this story.
