Our college students are here! One of the best way to

minister to our college students is pro-vide them a place away from home to relax and EAT! They are hungry and many call Crossroads home. We are

looking for families of Crossroads to feed between 15—20 stu-

dents each Sunday after 1 1 am service. You can bring food, take them out, team up

with another family or make a donation.

SIGN UP AT THE

WELCOME CENTER!

Fair We are never too young to serve in the church.

It is our dream and passion that everyone who walks through the doors of Crossroads will find a ministry where they can serve and use the talents God has

given them. During the 9:30 hour on January 17, 2016, the Christian Education team invites you to a Fusion Fair.

Our fellowship hall will be filled with displays of all available Crossroads ministries. There will be a leader at

each display to answer any questions you might have and sign-up lists to easily get involved.

Breakfast will be served for all those in attendance. We are extremely excited for this event and are praying for

you and the ministry leaders. We are looking forward to working with you in growing the kingdom!
