What do you do when you feel as though God is inviting you into a situation to help someone and soon you realize that you are stuck between a rock and a hard place? That's exactly where Joseph found himself in the Christmas story. Let's come together this Sunday to learn how Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, can help us make it through our own rock and hard places.
Advent started this past Sunday. We hope you are enjoying the time spent together daily using the family Advent Calendar. If you have not received one yet, you can pick one up anytime in the church office or at Crossroads Kids on Sunday morning." Click here to view the Family Advent calendar.

You can help needy families in Loudoun County have a wonderful Holiday! Friendship Bridge and the Ashburn Rotary are looking for those interested in sponsoring a family this Christmas. Stop by the Fellowship Hall after worship during advent and pick a bell from the tree. It will list the family's specific wants or ones asking for donations of Target or Walmart gift cards. These gifts or cards, along with care packages, will be given to families in Loudoun County who are in need of extra help during the holidays. If you know of any family in need this holiday season, contact
Susie Howard or
Kathy MacKrell and we can add their bell to the tree. You may also make a monetary donation and someone can do the shopping for you! Mark your donation Bells & Lights.
All gift donations will need to be returned to Crossroads by December 18th.
