SPRING GROUPS
Start your Spring right by getting connected in a group! Some in-person and online groups start the week of April 25. Check out what’s available and sign up.

DAILY PRAYER TEXT
Last month’s daily texts united us together with a common prayer and scripture focus so well that we decided to continue. If you missed last month and would like to join in, just text the word “pray” and the time you want to receive the daily text to 765-453-4626.
(example: pray 10:00 AM to 765-453-4626)

CRASH COURSE
This interactive 4-week group setting will help you grow in your faith and is the way to connect at Crossroads. Learn more and sign up at ecrossroads.org/connect.

LEAD PASTOR SEARCH
Efforts by the search and elder teams are in their final phase! Now the search team’s recommendation will be screened by the elder team, a candidate weekend will be scheduled to gather further input, and a congregational vote will take place the following weekend. Keep praying for clarity in seeing God’s choice during this important season!

THE CROSSROADS APP
The Crossroads App is the easiest way to connect with our church. Get quick access to sermons, prayer, giving, push notifications, event signups, and much more!

ONLINE GIVING
Online giving has been a game changer for Crossroads’ ability to impact our community regardless of snow closures, vacations, or (now) viral outbreaks. You can join us in our BOLD mission by setting up regular giving today:

  • visit ecrossroads.org/give,
  • text give2ccc to 77977 for a secure giving link,
  • access giving through the Crossroads app
  • or you can simply mail your gift to the church office.


Hope for Your Home:
The Pressure of a Perfect Home

Control————–Despair

Ephesians 2:4
4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!


Ephesians 2:8
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.


Grace reshapes my .
Grace reshapes my .
Grace reshapes my .


The imperfections of my home are to bear the cross of Christ and to live out the grace of God.


2 Corinthians 12:9
“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.


The idea of the perfect home is a that takes our focus off of God’s true purpose for your home: to be the epicenter of God’s self sacrificial and being expressed.


Ephesians 5:21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
