With sadness in our hearts we pass along the news that Angie Kopylov, Crosstown's Director of Youth Ministries, resigned her position with Pastor John prior to his sabbatical. Angie's final day of ministry with us will be December 26th.

Originally, Angie came to Crosstown in 2017 pursuing her B.A. in Ministry. She has led our Youth Ministry programming, chaperoned our students attending CHIC, and established a TreeHouse program to help local teens in need. We have been blessed by her passion and love for youth. In this last season we've shared Angie and Roman's joy as they've moved into their first house and welcomed Elijah to their family! Now, we thank the Kopylovs for their time with us and pray God's blessing on their family as Angie discerns her next steps.

Keeping up with the FALLing leaves.

Special thank you to Randall for raking our large property this season. He has been working diligently to keep up with the property, clean the extra messes from our construction project, and maintain his regular duties.

Join us on Instagram or Facebook for our "Where's that located?" game! 🧐

On Monday we publish an up close and personal image of something on the church property and then see if you can name the item and where it's located. 🤔

These next seven days as you enter into prayer, may you "pause to be still; breathe slowly; and re-center your scattered senses upon the presence of God."

PRAY: "Father I pause to have an encounter with You; the One who loves to walk and talk with His children. Help me to still myself, to hear Your voice, understand Your word and grow in closeness to You."

(from Lectio 365 App)

Let us continue to ask, seek, and look forward with faith and hope for answered prayer ~ believing that the Holy Spirit will lead us to Crosstown's next worship director and that person to us!!!

Thank you for your prayers,

Last week Daisy Hepburn, founder of Spice of Life at Crosstown, passed away. You can read her obituary here and leave a note in the guest book.

It was fun to have Dwight Ekholm in the house for worship last weekend. If you would like to connect a little more with him, you can. Dwight will be leading the next two Wednesday AM Bible studies on Zoom.
