Dear Church Family,

 Please accept my sincere thanks for your support and for all your help and generosity for the spaghetti dinner.  As God multiplied the fishes and loaves, so He used your service, donations and financial support to provide over $1300 for the expenses for Matt’s dog. 

Thank you for your kindness.

Crossroads Youth Group SNL Summer Series

/0 Comments/in /by

Sunday Night Live (SNL) is back again for the Summer. The youth (grades 7-12)  will meet in Crossroads Church family homes to view and discuss a DVD series based on the book Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper. In this fabulous work, John Piper challenges us to set aside the trivial pursuit of self-fulfillment so that we can develop a deeper passion for God. Piper believes that if we  submit the sufferings we endure, the risks we take, and the goals we set to the pursuit of God’s glory, then not one moment of our lives will be wasted.  The SNL Meetings are scheduled for Sunday evenings: July 11, July 25, August 8 and August 22 from 6pm until 8:30pm. See the church calendar for meeting locations.

/1 Comment/in /by

March 5-7 Our Youth Ski Retreat spent  a wonderful weekend at Timberline Ski Resort in Canaan Valley, WV.

We had two days of skiing in great snow conditions they have had over 250 inches of snow this year, all the trails were open. The sun shone the whole weekend.

We stayed at Canaan Valley Baptist Church and had a lot of fun getting to know each other better and sharing God’s word.  Andrea Williams and Marcy Naylor (plus a couple of other adults) prepared some great meals for us. and Dave Williams kept us on track with a fun-filled schedule.
