New Crossroads Fund Drive - Key Dates


Our new Crossroads fund drive, "Faith Forward to the Finish Line" was launched during worship on Sunday, March 6 with the first of eleven brief videos. Each of these videos tell the story of significant ways our new facility is a blessing in our local community. I'll continue to post these videos here on a week to week basis.

• Bible Studies
• Creative Ministries
• Second Saturday Outreach
• “The Gathering” Worship
• Fellowship Dinners
• Vacation Bible School
• Community Groups – Red Cross Blood Drive/Emergency Shelter, Board of Elections,
UMC District & Conference Events, Seminars…
• Combined Choir Events
• Nativity & Fontanini Display
• Weekly Youth Ministry
• Partnership with Grace Church

Following the first two three year fund drives, we are excited about having this new five-year drive be the one that gets us to the finish line in the spring of 2016! The congregation will receive a mailing the week of May 9 that will include a financial commitment card to complete and bring to worship on Sunday, May 15 for a special dedication.

I am so thankful for the donors who have participated in the first two campaigns. Thanks to you, we are able to use our Crossroads facility to reach our community with the love of Jesus Christ. We can now see the finish line ahead!

“Now finish doing it, so that your eagerness may be matched by completing it according to your means.” – II Corinthians 8:11

During the launch of our new fund drive, let's pray this prayer together on a daily basis, “Lord, what would You do through me to accomplish Your will in my church?”
