Weekly Newsletter


September 2018
I'm very excited to share that Teen Yoga and Mindfulness classes will be returning to Crossroads at the start of October! Invite a friend (or several!) and join us to learn a variety of ways to breathe, relax, and release stress not only on the mat but it your everyday lives.

Also, the Worship Team is putting together an amazing Christmas Eve service, and they're inviting our Students to take part in the festivities! Whether you sing, dance, play a musical instrument, or would just love to be a part of the fun, come join us on stage for this beautiful time of celebration and joy. 

More details for both of these opportunities are included below. 

Have an exquisitely exceptional week!

With Joy,

Teen Yoga & Mindfulness
Tuesdays, 7:30 - 8:30pm  @ Crossroads UMC
Starts October 2nd!!
 
Teens today live in a stressful, competitive world full of constant technological stimulation. Yoga & Mindfulness provide a winning combination of tools teens can use to help cope with the stress in their daily lives.

In this class, we will learn classic, gentle yoga poses and introduce breathing, relaxation and mindfulness techniques to increase strength and flexibility of both the body and mind.

No prior yoga experience is required. 
Yoga mats will be available, or you can bring your own.
 
It's beginning to SOUND a lot like Christmas!!

Calling all singers, dancers, musicians, and artists of all forms!

We'd love to have you be a part of Crossroads' jubilant, joy-filled, and all-around holly jolly  Christmas Eve services!!

Regular Gatherings 

Intersect


Intersect takes Sunday School to the "next level"!

Middle and High School Students are invited to join in each week at  10AM in the Discipleship Room .

We're turning our eyes, ears, and inquisitive minds back to the Bible this week and learning about why and how the Bible itself came into being. 

What does it mean to say that the Bible is "canon"? Who decided what went into it and what was left out? How can we learn to read the Bible as an active, living text? And what does all of this have to do with our relationship with God?

It's going to be a great Sunday!
