Kids Too! & Youth Group are back

Kids Too! Wednesdays @ 6:30

We are blasting off this year by learning 4 spiritual habits...Say what, now? That's right! Spiritual Habits are ways we can grow with Jesus. An exercise to grow our FAITH MUSCLE! Parents can join at home, too. Kids Too! invites kids ages 4 years through 5th grade for an evening of Bible adventure, games, music and small groups.

Youth Group Wednesdays @ 6:30

Our series will be sharing personal faith stories from our leaders and guest speakers from our church community. And we will be separating the high school and middle school discussion groups into separate rooms to help facilitate better age-appropriate conversations.

Special Congregational Meeting

The sanctuary roof replacement task force will bring a proposal to the congregation on October 2 asking for approval for monies to replace the shingled roof over the sanctuary. This roof has been leaking for many years and is well over 40 years old. The task force solicited many bids over the past few months and has settled on a roofing company called Legacy roofing. This proposal will be asking for a sum of "not to exceed $60,000" and will include the tear off and replace of shingles, flashing and replacing the roof deck as needed. At this time the gutters and downspouts will not be replaced. If you have any questions prior to the congregational meeting on October 2, please reach out to Jim Fischer. jimfischer3@hotmail.com

*** Please note there is also our regular rhythm congregational meeting scheduled for Oct 30 following worship.

Crosstown Staff Update

We are saddened to pass along the news that Kristi Johnson, Crosstown’s Office & Communication Manager, has resigned her position. Her last day of service will be Tuesday, November 29 per the Crosstown Employee Handbook. We want to thank Kristi for her dedicated service and commitment to excellence over the last years. Originally, Kristi began serving in our office in August of ’19 and began her current position in December of ’19. During this season of our ministry, Kristi has been instrumental in a number of initiatives that were launched as we navigated through the pandemic. These include the launching of our YouTube Channel, Crosstown App, and seasonal gift bags. We celebrate with Kristi at the conclusion of her “Certification in Marketing Management” from North Park University. Let us pray for God’s blessing and leading in Kristi’s life as she looks ahead to the next chapter in her professional life.
