Attention 6th to 8th Graders: Cross Roads is hosting a virtual retreat on March 13, 10AM-12PM, Over the course of a few hours, youth will EXPLORE the ways God is present in your world and in your lives.
You will play games, read stories from the Bible, get moving, worship together, and have fun! There is a suggested registration of $15, and you can register at https://www.crossroadsretreat.com/youth-retreats/
Finally, we are prayerfully asking that you consider dropping off or mailing your Sunday School and Adult Forum offerings to the church office, so we can continue to support our partners in ministry: NJ Farmers Against Hunger and Youth Adults in Global Mission.
