Dear Crossroads,

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, May 5th for a meeting after Sunday
School at 12 p.m. to elect new church officers.

After the nomination process, six months of training, and some very
thorough examinations, the Crossroads Session is pleased
to recommend the following men:

– Randy Kee for ruling elder

– Kevin McMullen for deacon

– Leonard “Van” Van Lowe for deacon

Please review the biblical qualifications in 1 Timothy 3: 1-13 and Titus 1: 6-9
and make an extra effort during these next five weeks to spend some time with
these men in order to make an informed decision when we vote on May 5th.

Regional Prayer Focus

Give thanks for the unprecedented harvest of new believers across Africa, Asia and Latin America. There are now Christians living and fellowshipping in every country on earth. World mission, globalization and high migration rates have dispersed the Church into every corner of the world, both to previously unevangelized areas and back to traditionally Christian regions where the Church is in sharp decline.
