SPRING GROUPS
Start your Spring right by getting connected in a group! We have in-person and online groups. 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
This week our Elders met with the candidate our Search team has recommended and began the interview process! Given a positive outcome, a recommendation will be made by the elders and the candidate will preach at all services on May 16th with a vote on May 23rd. (Note: these dates are tentative.) Anyone age 16 and above is eligible to vote, and a minimum of 75% in favor of the total votes cast by church members is required to hire a lead pastor. Keep praying Crossroads!

Lamentations 3:19-24
The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words. I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”
“Here’s the paradox. We can fully embrace God’s love only when we recognize how completely unworthy of it we are.”

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayers.
Jeremiah 29:12
Then you will call on me and come pray to me and I will listen to you …
Genesis 21:14-20

When the water was gone, she put the boy in the shade of a bush.
And as Hagar sat there nearby, she began to sob.
God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid, God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him a great nation.”
Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy as he grew up.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Psalms 68:5
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
