Crossroads Community Church

Tribe Levi: Well, I hope as you pull on your blue jeans tonight (over your long underwear—brr!) you give a quick thought to your role as a priest in God’s kingdom.  Our passage for this weekend is Leviticus 23 as we consider the role of Sabbath in our walk with God.  Praise God for a safe return for our Jr. High students and staff from Timber-Lee Retreat.  God moved in a powerful way in the lives of many students!
