Crossroads Friends -
God's
peace to you in Jesus' name. We continue to consider the message we
heard last Sunday from our guest speaker Gina Mueller. Our Father God
is always ready for us to spend some time alone with Him. Take that
time as you are able, turn off the noise, shut your door, open your
Bible and listen for His voice.
How
can we pray for you tonight? Please let us know by phone, email or
text! If it's not urgent, let someone know you're in need of prayer
when we're together on Sundays, stop by when the office is open during
the week, or during our weekly prayer ministry time on Tuesday at 6:30
p.m. When two or three are together in Jesus' name He promises to be
with us. Let's gather with him often! We look forward to praying with
you.
Just
a quick reminder about the crafting time that has been set aside here
at church tomorrow evening and Saturday. Something else in the works –
possibilities for a summer youth mission trip and Bible camp are being
discussed. See our church announcement page for these opportunities and more - crossroadscokato.com/announcements
March
begins tomorrow, and in Minnesota that means snow! One thing we
learned on the snowy Sunday at the beginning of February is that would
be good for us to get updates on contact information, especially for
those who like to text.
TEXT
MESSAGING - We're going to try sending notices out by text message in
addition to email. The attached contact info update sheet (CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD) will be put
in the bulletin this Sunday, but you can send us the info whenever you
like. You can text us too -- through Pastor Steve Thorson's cell phone -
763-291-3499
(provider is T-Mobile -- that info is needed by some text messaging
systems). We're learning how to text, slowly, so we might call you back
when you text. We ask your patience as we learn!
PHONE
CALLS - If you would be willing to make phone calls, with prayer
requests or vital information such as we had on Feb 3 with the snowfall,
let us know you would like to make calls! What would be wonderful is
if someone who does text or email could be the "link" between the
electronic crowd and others who prefer a call. You can always call
church at 320-286-2100, but if a quick response would be more helpful, call Pastor Steve at 763-291-3499 as the office has limited hours.
OTHER
WAYS TO KEEP IN TOUCH - On Feb 3 we updated our church website as best
we could with the changing conditions. For those who are familiar with
"twitter" you can follow Pastor Steve "@equalsharing." You can also
friend him on facebook. Our church itself has a facebook page that we'd
like to keep more active. If anyone would like to try doing that from
your home let us know and we'll set you up.
AT
CHURCH - One of our young people is building a portable kiosk that will
be placed out in the fellowship area at church. This is an Eagle Scout
project and we're very thankful for the efforts that are being put into
it. Each family will soon have a "mailbox"! That should prove
helpful!
Looking
forward to seeing you all soon! Please pray for one another and for
the ministry we have through Crossroads - setting people free to follow
Jesus in all of life.
Sincerely yours,
Crossroads Community Church
