Do You have a Heart for Missions?

The Missions Committee is seeking one or two missions-minded individuals to join their team. This committee oversees Crossroads' outreach to local and global mission interests. If you have a heart for missions and believe the Lord is leading you to serve in this area, please contact Paul Sereda.

Shoebox Collection Results

On Sunday November 14, 2010, Crossroads turned in 78 shoe boxes filled with toys, books, gifts, and toiletries for the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child project. Our boxes are now joined with millions of others worldwide for distribution in needy areas of the globe.

Matt Courtney reported from the Missions Committee that distribution of the boxes is only the first step in an evangelism effort to the children who receive the boxes. They also follow-up with a 12 week lesson plan that presents the gospel to the children. The committee extends thanks to all who helped make this program a success.

Operation Christmas Child to Start (UPDATED)

It's time for Operation Christmas Child to begin. The shoe boxes will be available on Sunday October 18, 2009. This annual mission is a blessing to both the box-fillers and the receivers.

UPDATE: 100 shoe boxes are now available. Each box contains a pamphlet that helps you select appropriate items for the child. The filled boxes must be returned to the church by Sunday November 15, 2009 in order to get them to the next point in the distribution chain.

This program is a great opportunity to share the gospel and the joy of Christmas with those that may never otherwise hear of Jesus Christ.

UPDATE: The Missions Committee would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all who participated in Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child. A total of 109 boxes are being sent all over the world from Crossroads and in each one will be a message of the "Love of our Savior".

Eye Glasses Collection for Missions

The Missions Committee is collecting old eye glasses to take or send to the Dominican Republic. Any type of old reading glasses, magnifying glasses, sunglasses, etc. will be accepted: prescription or regular. There is a box for these at the church.

2010 Mission Trip Planned

We are already planning a mission trip for 2010. The Missions Committee has decided upon March 2010 for another trip to the Dominican Republic. Now is the time to start thinking about going. See a committee member if you are interested or have any questions.

Some financing is available for the participants. Don't let finances hold you back from going.
