  • From Awakening to Action: Crossroads Men's Weekend – Men of all ages are invited to join us for an inspiring weekend of worship, fellowship, great food, and encouragement as we kick off the Crossroads Men's Fall Ministry.

Our guest speaker, Dr. David Gibbs Jr., will share inspiring messages on Friday and Saturday at 6:30 PM. Saturday's activities begin at 3:30 PM with a cornhole tournament (optional), followed by a delicious Nelson's catered dinner and plenty of time for fellowship. The weekend will be hosted at Greg and Melody Payne's home in Plymouth, making it easy to attend and enjoy a relaxed outdoor setting. (In the event of rain, all activities will be held at Crossroads.) Invite your friends, neighbors, sons, and teenagers for a memorable weekend of faith, fun, and encouragement.

The hostess and participants plan the schedule and menu together, creating space for everyone to contribute. Whether you come hungry for food, fellowship, or fresh perspective, you’ll find a sweet place to belong, connect, and be refreshed.  Sign up now!
