Christmas at Crossroads

CHURCH WIDE EVENTSNew Year's Day, Sunday, January 1 - Sunday School 9:00 AM, Worship Service 10:30 AM

End of the Year Giving. Once again, thank you for your faithfulness and generosity. God is at work in our midst. We are blessed beyond measure in that God has allowed us to be a part of His tremendous work. There is much to be done. We have only seen the be-ginning of what God desires to do in and through Crossroads. We are unapologetically asking you to continue to give sacrificially. As you consider your end of year giving, ask God to show you what He would have you do. May we be found faithful in honoring the Lord each step of the way, surrendering ourselves and our resources, as we earnestly look to Him for the means to accomplish His work at Crossroads.

Three ways to give end of the year gifts during the last week of 2016:1. On campus - the office will be open:

Tuesday, December 27- Thursday, December 29, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Saturday, December 31, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM2. USPS (Snail Mail) Post Marked by 12/31 - 125 S. Houston Levee, Eads, TN 38028 3. Online - anytime until midnight December 31, 2016.

The Church Office will be Closed: December 23, 26, 30 and January 2. FAMILY WEDNESDAYS There will not be any Crossroads Family Wednesday activities this week due to the Christmas Holiday. Regular Family Wednesdays will resume January 11th.

MINISTRY TO WOMEN All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you - unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters most to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, The Armor of God study by Priscilla Shirer is for you. Both the Tuesday and Thursday Ladies Bible Studies will work through this 7-week course next semester. Cost: $15. Cost for those needing Tuesday childcare (available only for the Tuesday class) - $20. Registration begins December 21, 2017 online and December 25 at the Events Registration Desk.
