We are delighted to announce Aaron Berfeldt as our candidate to serve as Crosstown's Director of Worship Arts. Following 8+ months as our interim director and with the unanimous support of the Worship Search team, we thank the Lord Jesus for Aaron's willingness to serve. For reasons of accommodations to Aaron's schedule as will as financial realities, we are reducing the hours per week for this position from 20 to 10 as well as reducing staff meeting attendance from weekly to monthly.

A Congregational Meeting to affirm Aaron Berfeldt as Director of Worship Arts has been scheduled for Sunday, June 26th, in person only. Please direct questions to Mark Ogawa, Elder to Worship, or Dennis Olson, Worship Deacon.

Our search is now "on pause" as our congregational leaders move forward on a discernment plan regarding the best way forward. We thank Hector Calvo for stepping in to lead Youth Group Wednesday nights this spring. Please direct any questions to Jess Edwards, Youth Deacon, and Heather Polhemus, incoming Youth Elder.

We have moved the church picnic table out for the summer. However, we are missing an umbrella. Anyone have a table umbrella they were planning to toss or donate? The church property is a windy location so it is a difficult climate for an umbrella, but Kristi and Polly would be blessed by the ability to work outside.
