We are excited to announce that our Downtown Campus is worshiping in their new building today! Earlier this week, we were granted an occupancy permit for the first floor, but we are still waiting for approval to open the second floor. (Our final kitchen fixtures are still arriving and being installed.) Once our permit is extended to that second floor, we will begin hosting full children’s ministry and Celebrate Recovery there as well. Let’s keep praying and stay tuned.
You may have noticed that our parking lot is under construction! Thanks to your Bold generosity, we began a total overhaul last week with plans to complete it in the coming days. So thank you for your faithfulness in giving, and please pardon the mess!
We recently launched a church-wide Facebook group for you to connect with other people from Crossroads. It is a place for you to fellowship, encourage others, and grow outside of the weekend service. Have an uplifting story or difference maker to celebrate? Need advice, support, or prayer? Want to connect with other people from Crossroads and help them feel a part of things?
Request access today!
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.
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!

Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
One hunter telling another hunter, I found
I need to share my faith.
I forget the importance.
I worry I might not have all the right answers.
I don’t like to get rejected.
I don’t know how to get the convo from here to there.
What if they ask questions I can’t answer?
I can’t find the perfect opportunity.
I don’t want to force my faith on anyone.
What if it doesn’t work?

So the Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.
3. Work at connecting with
1 Corinthians 9
19 Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ. 20 When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. 21 When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.
22 When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. 23 I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.
