Acts 9:1-9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out
murderous threats against the Lord's
disciples. He went to the high priest and
asked him for letters to the synagogues
in Damascus, so that if he found any
there who belonged to the Way,
whether men or women, he might take
them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he
neared Damascus on his journey, sud-
denly a light from heaven flashed
around him. He fell to the ground and
heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul,
why do you persecute me?" "Who are
you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus,
whom you are persecuting," he replied.
"Now get up and go into the city, and
you will be told what you must do." The
men traveling with Saul stood there
speechless; they heard the sound but
did not see anyone. Saul got up from
the ground, but when he opened his
eyes he could see nothing. So they led
him by the hand into Damascus. For
three days he was blind, and did not
eat or drink anything.

Do you enjoy crafting and/or scrapbooking? Tracy Inman and friends
will be in room #105 on Saturday June 2nd between 9am and 9pm and
invite you to bring your own craft supplies and projects and craft with
them throughout the day. Come and go as you please and enjoy the
fellowship of working along with other crafters on your own projects at
your own pace. Email office@crossroads-umc.com with questions.
Why were all the people who spoke different languages in Jerusalem to hear
the disciples speak in tongues? Was it a cosmopolitan city like London, Paris or
New York? Were all these different people tourists or residents?
All those people were Jews, from different parts of the world. They had
returned to Jerusalem to celebrate the second big festival in the Jewish
calendar – Shavuot. Because Shavuot occurred fifty days after Passover, the
Greek word for Shavuot was Pentecost. We often think of Pentecost as a
Christian celebration, but it also refers to this Jewish holiday.
Shavuot had/has three main emphases: 1) A festival of first fruits where offer-
ings are made to God in celebration of agricultural harvest, and in particular
the wheat harvest (the bread offered on this occasion is made using yeast –
different than Passover), 2) The revelation or giving of the Torah/ Law of Moses
at Mt. Sinai, and 3) lots of eating, fun and celebrating.
For Christians Pentecost is all about the coming of the Holy Spirit. At the first
Pentecost the speaking in tongues and Peter’s explanation was all about
revealing God’s plan and will. Peter even quoted the Old Testament to
connect this revelation of the Spirit into the signs, visions and miracles that
were happening around them. For Jews, God’s revelation came through the
Law of Moses; for those early Jewish Christians God’s revelation came through
the power of the Holy Spirit.

New this year:
THE ESCAPE ROOM
So fun! Solve the case to
escape! Kids will love it!
We are in the planning stages
for Vacation Bible School 2018, to
be held Monday through Friday,
July 23rd to July 27th from 6pm to
8pm. This year’s theme is “The
God Squad”, loosely based on
PBS’s “The Odd Squad”, so our
scientific agents will be solving
cases while learning the Bible
stories each day. Our mission
project will be to raise funds for
The Heifer Project. We may
have some real, live animals on
hand for that part of the evening!
There will be a free meal each evening at 5:30pm, prior to the opening assembly. Pas-
tor Sid Robbins has penned our bible story skits for each day and we have a new ele-
ment this year, in keeping with our theme. We will have an “Escape Room” in place of
our games rotation and it should be a LOT of fun! In addition to the Escape Room, we
will have our music, crafts, and science rotations, and will also offer VBS for teens again
(7th grade and up).
If you are interested in serving at VBS 2018, please see Cathy Parks or Cindy Jones or
email cjones@crossroads-umc.com. Registration is now open. Register online here The
God Squad VBS or pick up a blank form from the information table in the sanctuary.
FREE T-Shirt for all VBS volunteers! Hope you can join us!
We appreciate all who attended our BBQ
dinner. Thanks to your generous donations,
we raised over $900 for our Praise Band,
meaning we have met our goal and have
purchased our new drum set. We are excited
about the improvement in our worship music
as a result of this new acquisition for our band.
Our youth group and some
church members enjoyed a
picnic at the Belton Memorial
Park on Wednesday. In
addition to grilling hotdogs
and fixing s’mores they
celebrated Lauren Thayne’s
graduation.
Congrats Lauren!!
THANK YOU We celebrated Kevin Siems last
Sunday for his service to
Crossroads. Thanks Kevin!
We appreciate you!
Ms. Stacy and Kids First had
some fun times at Deanna
Rose Children’s Farmstead
on Thursday.
