This is an especially fantastic week to join us for REACH! at 5:00PM on Sunday. David Hartness, who'll be leading our very first TREK training immediately beforehand, has so many terrific activities planned, including the introduction of four extremely interactive and engaging team challenge elements that were created specifically with Crossroads in mind.
REACH!
participants will have the chance to experience each of these elements while enjoying fellowship and snacks and hopefully having lots and lots of fun!
All students are welcome to come and
REACH!
with us this Sunday.
See you there!
With Joy,
Marilyn

KNOWLEDGE
TREK is a church and community initiative that involves supportive and encouraging group challenges and dynamic, fun learning opportunities which are designed to enhance our spiritual journey together - inward and outward!
TREK incorporates both outdoor and indoor active elements which allow participants to work together, think critically and creatively, and encourage each other while also celebrating their individual strengths and stretching to new heights!
TREK Kickoff!
We're holding our first training for TREK leaders, mentors, and facilitators (adults and mature high school Students) on Sunday, November 19th from 3:30-5:00PM. Then during REACH! from 5:00-6:15PM, participants will be able to try out some of the elements, learn from the leaders, and enjoy the launch of TREK!

Our Next
Parenting Seminar
:
Wednesday, November 29th, 2017
7-8:30PM
at Crossroads UMC
New findings show that the greatest changes to the parts of the brain that are responsible for functions such as
self-control, judgments, emotions, and organization occur between puberty and adulthood.
This helps explain
certain teenage behavior that
adults can find mystifying.
During this engaging presentation, licensed professional counselor and family therapist
Neil McNerney will share
specific skills to foster greater understanding between you and your teen so you can
restore calm, reclaim respect, and regain love and fun within your family.
This event is offered to the community free of charge.
Student and Family
