This Sunday at Crossroads!
A Baby is Born
As we prepare for the Birth of Jesus, take time to stop and consider Jesus' presence in your life. We celebrate because Jesus was sent to remind us that God is with us.
This Sunday, we will light our third Advent Candle, the Joy candle, as the kids learn more about what Christmas is really about.
Bring your children this Sunday for our
9:00 or
11:00 am gatherings.
