MEIJER SIMPLY GIVE FUNDRAISER
We are indeed being blessed to bless this year as Crossroads has been selected to benefit from Meijer’s Simply Give program! From now until October 24th, they will match all our donations! Join us in fueling the Crossroads Food Pantry this year by giving at ecrossroads.org/give. (Be sure to choose the Meijer Simply Give Program from the dropdown.)
A NOTE ABOUT SEATING ROPES
While social distancing remains important, we have removed the seating ropes from 4 of our sections at Crossroads South campus to allow for more latitude in seating choices. The ropes on the 2 outside sections will remain in place for anyone who might prefer a more structured seating arrangement.
SERVING AT CROSSROADS
Getting plugged into the right serving spot is easier than ever - visit the get involved page at ecrossroads.org to have someone contact you.
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!
