We have a little time lapse video of the progress so far in the sanctuary. It's coming along every day and the new platform has now been framed.

If you are still interested in financially supporting this project you can donate online. Just indicate it is for the SRP.

Yes, your phone and Apple watch should do this automatically. But just in case, check your time before you head over for Sunday service. And maybe you even get to gain an extra hour of sleep? Bonus!

The Old Testament is full of intentional praise and remembrances of God's deliverance. Apparently it is easy to forget what He has already led us through. That's why this year we are trying to remember Crosstown's history. If Psalm 136 was written about Crosstown's people what would it say? Add your lines and thoughts in our blog post or in person Nov 14th. Let's reminisce together.

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.

This Sunday we will be praying for Covenant World Relief and Development, a branch of the ECC. There will not be a special offering in the service for this. If you would like to financially support this ministry, please do so online.

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. 🤔

Crosstown is working on a holiday meal distribution. The NENA food shelf has ended for the 2021 year. We would like to step into that food gap and put together meal kits, maybe set up a food drive, or source ingredients from other locations.

If you would like to help with this project please email Kristi. Typically NENA served 70 neighbors representing even more family members. This will be a big job requiring much organizational help!

The Elder team is praying about what our relationship in our community looks like going forward. If you have connections or want to give input about how we can serve our neighbors, please let us know! Where should Crosstown plug in?  

This week as we continue to pray for God’s leading to a new Director of Worship Arts, let’s be asking Him to show us the person He has with the kind of gifts He desires for us at Crosstown.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.  There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. -I Corinthians 12:4-7

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you in advance for the person (and their gifts) that you have for Crosstown Covenant Church. Give us open hearts and ears to hear Your will as we continue to pray. In Jesus Name, Amen

Thank you for your prayers,
