The Gideons International, founded in 1899, serves as an extended missionary arm of the church and is the oldest association of Christian businessmen and professional men in the United States of America. It's been just over 100 years since The Gideons International placed the first Bible in a hotel room in Montana. Today, The Gideons are organized in more than 190 countries around the globe. Bibles and New Testaments are printed for distribution by The Gideons in more than 90 languages. Through God's grace and to His Glory, more than 1.6 billion Bibles and New Testaments have been placed by The Gideons.

Prayer Requests
Crossroads CHURCH
Sharing God’s Love
One Person at a Time
WELCOME
Thank you for joining us for worship today! We hope you feel encouraged
and that you will worship with us again soon.
Worship is not a passive activity. Worship actively centers thoughts and
actions around the Eternal God who is active and alive in our life.
Worship moves us out of our comfort zones and into an engagement with
our world in a pursuit of justice, righteousness, compassion and action.
A nursery is provided for infants, toddlers and children up to 4 years old.
A brochure of Crossroads’ ministries is available in the information rack
in the foyer.
Our sound system is equipped with receivers for those with impaired
hearing. Ask any usher to provide one for you
If you would like a CD of today’s service, please feel free to check one
out from the library or call the church office.
Please join us after the morning service for refreshments and fellowship!
