Crosstown Connection July 18 - 24
We are excited to announce that in August we will be moving to Phase 3 of reopening the building. This will increase the size of groups allowed to use the building and initiate Sunday worship IN PERSON at 9:15am. Please watch the video with your family to find out what to expect on a Sunday morning. RSVP options for Sunday worship will be opening soon.
You will continue to be able to watch the service at home, but it will no longer be prerecorded and edited. It will be available at 9:15am on YouTube and anytime after that as a live recording of the service from the back of the Sanctuary.
The " Reopening Plan Phase 3 " explains Sunday's requirements, but other uses of the building are also being expanded.
Projects & Supply Donation for VBS
We certainly have projects for all skill levels as we prep for My Street VBS. There are a number of pre-packaged snack items needed, too. Please drop off items at Polly's home before Friday, July 17 at 8:00pm. We will not be collecting cash donations this year.
How do you attend VBS?
There will be 3 different locations offered in friends' yards for My Street VBS. Families will reserve a blanket by registering, which will allow for social distancing. The July 20-23, 6:00-7:00pm in Bloomington site has been eliminated due to low enrollment.

Please complete your registration at least ONE WEEK before your desired VBS time.
Please contact Polly if you have questions.
Prayer Gatherings- July 19 & 26
As we continue our walk through the pandemic, where is God calling Crosstown to go? What does He want us to hear, learn, or do? Help us to cover our next phases of Crosstown's reopening in prayer.
There are 4 prayer gatherings available (July 19 & 26th at 10:00 & 11:00) to join and each session has limited in-person openings. You can also join the gatherings on Zoom. Please note that the sound may be limited due to mask usage.
Mid-year Giving Statements
Due to the unusual circumstances over the past several months we will not be printing out mid-year giving statements. Year-end statements will be given out as usual for tax purposes.

If anyone has questions about their giving so far, or would need a mid-year statement, please contact Liana Ogawa at 651-452-5106.
