WANT TO FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY
AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY FOR ALL WHO
EVENTS
Here are some of the latest events coming up here at
Cross Roads Community UMC.
COMPASSION
CHILDREN
Compassion Children is one of the many outreach ministries we support here at Cross Roads. Currently, our congregation supports three children: Able, Deyas, and Lina. Each month our congregation's Mission Offering goes to funding these three young people.
Compassion International is a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from poverty and enables them to become Christian adults. This program is run entirely by local Christian churches in Africa, Asia, Central America and South America because the local congregations are the experts on their local communities.
If you would like to donate to the support of these three young persons, please make a donation either via check or online and make sure it is marked "Compassion Children." If you would like more information this organization, or to possibly sponsor your own child, click HERE.

April Mission Ministry
​
The REELHOPE Project's mission is: A forever family for every child.
​
Their goal is to make a video for all youth in our focus states who are experiencing foster care and awaiting an adoptive family. Each reel is provided free of charge to the representing county or adoption agency as a recruitment resource for prospective adoptive families.
​
Their vision is to mobilize the faith community to step into adoption, foster care, and prevention efforts. They serve as a bridge between Church and State, partnering broadly on both sides to see an end to youth waiting for families. They believe in approaching this need from both ends of the spectrum – preventing kids from entering the system and finding families for kids awaiting adoption.
​
All excess funds in April will go towards helping them create the videos

Cross Roads Coffee Corner
Cross Roads is continuing one of its first small groups and everyone is invited!
Cross Roads "Coffee Corner" has changed its meeting dates. This small group will begin meeting the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9:00am in the Fellowship Hall. Everyone is invited to come as frequently or as little as you like. This is a time for coffee and fellowship; just a way to catch up with what is going on with others in the congregation, especially those you perhaps haven't had a chance to really talk to since the pandemic began, or those you would like to get to know better. If you would like to bring treats to share with others, feel free.
We encourage you to bring a friend, especially someone who doesn't have a church family. This would be a terrific way to introduce them to folks at Cross Roads in a casual setting.
We look forward to seeing you soon!!
