This Week at Crossroads I 6.01.23

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW PENTECOST SUNDAY: WEAR RED  In a grape vineyard, a vine is the vital life source for the production of fruit. In the same way, abiding in Christ is the way in which we receive all of the spiritual nourishment necessary to live the way of Jesus in the world. Without this vital connection, we are incapable of producing the fruits of the spirit and becoming who God wants us to be.  This week we will explore staying connecting to our vine, Jesus.  Listen to This Sunday's Playlist:  Shout to the Lord You Say In Jesus Name You Are My King Doxology JOIN US IN-PERSON OR ONLINE at 9:15am  FACEBOOK LIVE YOUTUBE CHANNEL CROSSROADS ON-DEMAND C3 (Celebrate.Connect.Contribute) June 7 I 6:30PM C3 (Celebrate, Connect and Contribute) is a vital component of our church’s culture as we foster friendships and spiritual formation through exploring the Bible, sharing experiences, and serving neighbors together. Our hope is that through C3 people can participate in a tight-knit kingdom community as we process what God is saying to us and receive the encouragement and support to do it.  For more information, contact Pastor Charles Newman.   SIGN UP BOTTLE WATER PROJECT  We are collecting bottled water for Grace Church Downtown for their summer heat respite program.  You are invited to bring your donated bottled water to church by June 25.
