Pastor’s Desk – 12-23-09

It has been great to hear stories of “Christmas Caring” the past few weeks around the office: Unchurched friends and neighbors who have come to our services; tangible expressions of God’s love through giving of food, gifts and visits to those in need; and encouraging calls or cards to those who need a lift.  I hope and pray God puts you in a place where you can observe and participate in the giving and receiving of His love this Christmas!

Christmas Eve Service Join us for our Christmas Eve service on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. We will share communion together and end the night with candlelight.  Children are welcome to attend this service.  We will look at the Christmas Prayer of Simeon found in Luke 2.Sermon-Based Small Groups:  Sermon-Based small groups will launch January 9!  These short-term (4-6 week) small groups are a great way to meet other Crossroads attenders and dig deeper into the messages heard on Sunday mornings.  We will be studying the book of Leviticus in the month of January.  To sign up to attend a group, contact Tiffany at tnottingham@aboutccc.com.
