CROSSROADS FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT
Join us Friday, May 16 at 7:00 PM in the Activity Center Gym for a night at the movies! We will turn our gym into a movie theater, complete with concessions, as we watch Disney's Robin Hood. Bring your family, friends and something comfy to sit on as we come together to watch a classic and enjoy a Friday night together. Admission is $5 for an individual and $10 per family. All proceeds from the night go towards sending underprivileged kids to VBS. A donation of $25 will send one child to VBS. Mark this night on your calendar and plan to join us as we enjoy a good movie, popcorn and great fellowship! For more information, call Elizabeth in the Children's Ministry Office at (360) 256-9712 or email eghormley@crossroadschurch.net.
REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE WHEN YOU RECEIVED JESUS?
Remember when you made a commitment to trust Jesus with your life? This decision was likely followed by a time of peace and satisfaction, yet you might have been confused about what came next. Oftentimes, people who receive Jesus are left standing by themselves, without any idea of what their new life in Christ really means.
As the Crossroads family, we want to walk beside our new believers as they grasp the amazing relationship they have just entered into. All of us have a great opportunity to participate in the process of welcoming our new brothers and sisters in Christ, and we don't have to be a Bible scholar to be involved! If this sounds interesting to you, we want you to join us at a catered lunch in our Activity Center Gym on Sunday, May 18 following our second service. We will share ways you can be part of this life-changing time in people's lives. They need you, and we need you! For more information and to sign up, stop by the Information kiosk, call Sheryl in the Church Office at (360) 256-9711, or email sdoty@crossroadschurch.net.
