Simple Life -- Be Still and Live Ministry is hosting the Simple Life small group study. This is an 8 week study for ladies who desire to simplify their life. The Simple Life breaks life down into four key sections (God, Time, Relationships, Money), authors Thom S. Rainer and Art Rainer show how four key goals (Clarity, Movement, Alignment, Focus) can begin to foster a life that is more spiritual and less busy, a life rich in experiences with family and friends
rather than double-booked to-do lists and late nights at the office. The study lays out an easy-to-follow action plan that will move participants assuredly toward the simple life. Join us for the journey. Join us for the victory. Welcome to the simple life. When: Begins January 14th, Wednesdays @ 6:30-8:00 pm
Where: McGriff Home at 7 Grassy Circle (about 1 minute from church) For more information or to register, contact Christy at [email protected] or 963-0944 This small group study will be limited to 12 ladies so secure your spot early! ************************************************************************************************** We want to thank our Crossroads family for the encouragement, prayer support, cards, etc. over the past few years and through the recent passing of my mother, Nov. 19. We have honored her memory with an online obituary which can be found at http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/Mary-L-Brady/Homepage.aspx . Love,
Cindy, Greg, Luke and Will Freeman
Israel 2016Informational Meeting
with John W. Samples Monday, January 12th
7:00 PM in the Lobby Classroom John Samples is the director of Christian Holy Land Foundation, a mission we support at Crossroads. Because John is a frequent visitor to Israel, we have asked him to address safety issues concerning our planned trip to Israel. He will also share some of his favorite locales and activities. And finally, we will be going over our Itinerary one more time. I hope you’ll make it a point to be there. P.S. – We will be done in time for the Big Game!
