Hey!
We are getting excited for our big Connection Event this Sunday- the Student Ministries
Beach Party! Every two months, we host a big, free party open to any middle and high school students so they can experience the fun of Crossroads Student Ministries, make more friends, and try new, silly things to be a little more comfortable coming to other programs, like Sunday morning Intersect or small groups.
This time, we'll be taking over the whole church for the full summertime experience- Wiffle Ball in the Fellowship Hall, Beach Volleyball in the Sanctuary, Cornhole Tournament in the Discipleship Room, and hot dogs, hamburgers, karaoke, board games, and more downstairs!
If your student is interested, please register
here
as soon as possible
, so we know we'll have enough students to run the event as planned. More details are below.
There are also registration details for new weeknight programs, like HS Girls' Small Group and Middle School Taco Tuesday, plus our summer mission trip: The Pittsburgh Project! Watch the awesome video returning students made, talking about how much they love the trip. Registration and deposits for #TPP2019 are due March 1st!
Lastly, this Sunday after church is our monthly
Reconnect for Families event! Nancy McGovern shares her passion for family fun dur
ing this
play based, one hour experience featuring connection games, mindfulness, breath work, and simple standing yoga movement. The one hour session will develop reconnection to joy and provide simple skills and tools to integrate more calmness into our busy lives.
Hope to see you there!

This Sunday in Intersect...
|
Intersect Middle- 10 am in the Discipleship Room
Intersect High- 10 am in the Ryan Chapel
Intersect Middle will be looking at the three qualities from the message series
Living the Good Life: humility, gentleness, and patience, and comparing Ephesians 4:1-2 says makes a good life to what popular culture tells us about these traits.
Intersect High will be continuing our discussion about what Love looks like in our gathering and setting expectations for the group. We will also be using the same verse and asking what does it mean to "lead a life worthy of your calling."
Games, laughter and breakfast snacks always included! Contact
Erin if you are interested in serving with Intersect one Sunday a month
