Faith Community Nursing Moment
One of my love languages is acts of service. I find deep joy in caring for others—and I know many of you do, too. At Crossroads, there are so many beautiful ways to serve one another, and one of the most impactful is through a Meal Train.
A Meal Train is a simple yet powerful way to support someone going through a challenging season by providing meals for them and their family. Not a cook? No problem—you can still be a huge blessing by sending a restaurant gift card. Either way, it’s an act of love that truly makes a difference.
When we take the time to care in this way, the blessings often return tenfold. It’s a practical and heartfelt way to “care well” for a brother or sister in Christ. If you know someone at Crossroads who could benefit from a Meal Train, don't hesitate to get in touch with the church office—we’d love to help you get one started.
And if you’re looking for other ways to serve, mark your connection card with interest in Faith Community Nursing. You don’t need to be a nurse to offer comfort—reading to someone or simply sitting with them can be a powerful act of love.

Worship in the Park - Here Are The Details!
We’re excited to celebrate all God is doing through worship and testimony of those being baptized, NEXT Sunday, August 10, at 10:00 AM at River Park Square. For this special day, all three Sunday services will combine into one powerful gathering. Pastor Scott returns from sabbatical to share a message, lead baptisms, and guide us in communion. Stick around afterward for our annual church picnic—a celebration full of fun, food, and fellowship for all ages!
This is the only Sunday of the year when our entire church family comes together for one service and celebrates baptisms, so be sure to mark your calendars now!
It’s Church Picnic Time! Join us after the worship service at noon under the River Park Pavilion for our annual church picnic! The church will supply pulled pork, hot dogs, plates, napkins, utensils, and bottled water—but we need you to bring the sides! Sign up now to bring side dishes, chips, and desserts. *Please keep anything with dairy in a cooler until serving time. Let's make this a tasty and joyful time of fellowship as we share food, laughter, and fun together.
Help Make Our Picnic Shine! Join us as a volunteer to help with setup, serve food, or assist with cleanup. Sign up now to lend a hand and bless our church family! After all, many hands make light work!
What to Bring to Worship in the Park + Picnic - We’re gathering outside for our special Worship in the Park service—followed by a church picnic—so here’s what to bring for a comfortable and joyful day. Essentials to Keep You Comfortable: Lightweight, weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen & bug spray, outdoor chairs or blankets, water for during the service, and a heart ready to celebrate God’s goodness! Shade Tips: Feel free to bring a pop-up tent, but please set it toward the back so it doesn’t block others’ view. The picnic area has ample shade for everyone.
Kids & Family Activities: There will be no Children’s Ministry during the service. However, kids (with parental supervision) can enjoy the splash pad and playground after the service during the picnic. We’ll also have a few simple, family-friendly games to enjoy together!
Come Ready! This is going to be a powerful day in the life of our church as we come together to celebrate God’s goodness through worship, biblical teaching, and stories of life transformation. You won’t want to miss it!
