Volunteer Appreciation
This past year, we've learned what it means to become one church in two locations.
Different buildings. Different communities. One mission.
We've coordinated schedules, launched ministries, trained volunteers, led worship services, hosted groups, welcomed guests, and celebrated baptisms— because one more person matters to God.
Every act of service has been an investment in the one.
Volunteers, all of this wouldn't be possible without all of you and we want to say thank you!
If you have served in some capacity here at Crossroads (either at our Albert Lea or Blue Earth Campus) over the past year, you are invited to our Volunteer Appreciation Night. It will be Wednesday, July 22nd at 6pm. We will be serving dinner and have a short program as our way of saying thank you!
The Gathering
The Gathering - Sunday, July 26th, 6pm-7:30pm
An Evening of Prayer & Worship
Join us for The Gathering, an evening dedicated to intentional prayer, heartfelt worship, and seeking God's presence together. As a church, we're leaning into the truth that our identity in Christ is the foundation for discovering our calling. When we know whose we are, we begin to understand why we're here.
Together, we'll worship, pray, and create space for God's Word to shape our hearts as we continue pursuing the vision He has for each of us and for our church.
"Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts." -Colossians 3:16 (NLT)
When we recognize all Christ has done for us, thankfulness becomes our response, worship becomes our overflow, and our lives become available for whatever He calls us to next.
Come expectant. Come ready to seek Him. Come discover more of who He says you are.
