This October, a team of ten men will be traveling to a remote area in Peru to build a permanent structure to meet for worship, teaching, and fellowship. This project will be done in conjunction with the team of local Peruvian missionaries, fulfilling a goal planned by Lee Ulmer, whom    Crossroads supported as a missionary for several years. On August 17, a special offering toward building materials and transportation costs will be taken. Please be praying over all aspects of this trip!

You might know that Crossroads currently sponsors fifteen missionary/ministry partners who serve in various roles worldwide. One goal of many of our partners is to raise up local staff to carry on the ministries. And one significant way this is occurring is through the efforts of our   missionaries Bob and Jeanette Schroer, who, through Campus Crusade for Christ International, are serving many countries known collectively as NAMESTAN.

One of Bob’s roles is as a country coach. He states that over the next few years, “I will be seeking to reduce the numbers of countries that I coach . . . and add one to two new national coaches to our regional leadership team. It is important for us to have younger coaches who are native     language speakers in many of our countries...I want to help our NAMESTAN countries be on solid footing to maintain and grow their ministries.”

So as you’re praying for Crossroads’ missionaries, also be praying for their national teams!

• Crossroads Community Table: Share Your Garden Harvest!  As our “Renewal in the Garden” sabbatical draws to a close, we’d love for you to share the fruits of your labor.  Starting today through Sunday, August 24, bring in your homegrown produce and drop it off at our Community Table Produce Stand, which is located in the Connection Area.   Remaining produce will be donated to our partners: David’s Courage, Bread of Life Food Pantry, Marshall County Council on Aging, and the Marshall County Neighborhood Center Food Pantry—blessing our wider community!

     Help us reach our goal of 1,200 lbs. Just estimate the weight of your harvest and record it via the church app or at crossroadsefc.com.  Thanks for helping our church and community grow         together!

We’re excited to celebrate all God is doing through worship and testimony of those being baptized, on Sunday, August 10 at 10:00 AM at River Park Square. For this special day, all three Sunday services will combine into one powerful gathering. Pastor Scott returns from sabbatical to share a message, lead baptisms, and guide us in communion. Stick around afterward for our annual church picnic—a celebration full of fun, food, and fellowship for all ages!

This is the only Sunday of the year when our entire church family comes together for one service and celebrates baptisms, so be sure to mark your calendars now!

It’s Church Picnic Time!  Join us after the worship service at noon under the River Park       Pavilion for our annual church picnic! The church will supply pulled pork, hot dogs, plates,       napkins, utensils, and bottled water—but we need you to bring the sides!  Sign up now to bring side dishes, chips, and desserts.  *Please keep anything with dairy in a cooler until serving time.  Let's make this a tasty and joyful time of fellowship as we share food, laughter, and fun together.

Help Make Our Picnic Shine!  Join us as a volunteer to help with setup, serve food, or assist with cleanup.  Sign up now to lend a hand and bless our church family! After all, many hands make light work!

What to Bring to Worship in the Park + Picnic - We’re gathering outside for our special Worship in the Park service—followed by a church picnic—so here’s what to bring for a comfortable and joyful day. Essentials to Keep You Comfortable: Lightweight, weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen & bug spray, outdoor chairs or blankets, water for during the service, and a heart ready to celebrate God’s goodness!  Shade Tips: Feel free to bring a pop-up tent, but please set it toward the back so it doesn’t block others’ view. The picnic area has ample shade for everyone.

Kids & Family Activities:  There will be no Children’s Ministry during the service. However, kids (with parental supervision) can enjoy the splash pad and playground after the service  during the picnic.  We’ll also have a few simple, family-friendly games to enjoy together!

Are you ready to publicly proclaim Jesus as your Lord and Savior through baptism? Our one and only baptism service of the year will take place during our Worship in the Park event. If you’re ready to take this powerful step in your faith, please complete the Baptism Testimony Form in your church app or grab a paper copy from the tables in the Worship Center.

We’re so excited to celebrate this milestone with you! Want to learn more about what baptism means?  Click here!
