CROSSROADS NEED TO KNOW
Evangelism Training:
How do we start gospel conversations? What are the best verses to use? How should we respond to questions that are asked? Those questions and many more may come to mind when you think about evangelism. Join us for a Sunday morning time of training! In two sessions we will cover many of the tools and techniques for telling others about Jesus. Be ready for an encouraging time together as we grow in faithfulness and boldness with the gospel. Join us on May 16th and May 23rd at 9:30 AM in Classroom A. Sign up here.
Parent/Child Dedication:
Through our Parent Dedication, you celebrate a commitment to raise your child in the ways of the Lord. You also commit to joining a community of believers who will help you and hold you accountable. Our next Parent Dedication service occurs on Thursday, May 6th and on Mother’s Day: Sunday, May 9th. We hope it to be a memorable and Christ-glorifying experience for you and your family. Sign up here.
Recycle for Missions:
Can recycling really make an impact on eternity? Absolutely! Here’s how: Drop off your recyclable aluminum cans and plastic bottles before any of the Sunday morning services at the blue tent in the corner of the church parking lot. Funds raised from these donations are sent to Living Waters International, which focuses on establishing water wells in impoverished communities. As the water wells are established, the gospel is proclaimed to the community. This new source of clean water becomes a lasting source of gospel explanation.
Collect your recyclables, drop them off as you walk in and lets help get the gospel to those who have not heard of King Jesus.
