Rice Bowls

We are partnering short-term with "Rice Bowls," an organization that works with orphanages in three different countries (South Africa, India and Haiti) to help subsidize food, clean water, clothing, and Christian education for kids without a mom or dad. CrossWalk Kids have been collecting money for a few weeks already. They have been focusing on the country of Haiti.

Adults and teens
Rice bowl banks will be available for teens and adults to pick up Sunday. You grab a bank, fill it with change and bring it back to CrossWalk. It is a very simple way for our church to begin to fulfill one of our purposes, "Serve the World."

Collection day is Mother's Day, May 11th.

Starting Point is coming to CrossWalk!

What is Starting Point?

A casual small group environment that helps you with questions about faith as well as questions about the Bible and Christianity.

Starting Point is designed for people in one of three general categories:

Seekers - Seekers are those who would not call themselves Christians, but are curious about God, Jesus, the Bible, or Christianity.

Starters - Starters are new to a relationship with Jesus Christ and are looking to build a solid foundation for their faith.

Returners - Returners are people that have some church experience, but have been away for a while.

Starting Point is a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience community. Participants are asked to do individual preparation each week with a conversational study guide and CD media kit.

Starting Point specifics:
When: May 4 to June 8 (a 6 week commitment)
Time: 6:30 to 7:45 pm on Sunday nights
Who: Teens and adults are welcome
Leaders: Allan Mummert and Martha Bailey

Up and Running

CrossWalk has been up and running for two weeks now. We have heard from many of you that you felt very welcome at CWC (CrossWalk Church). Thank you. It’s our goal to make welcoming part of the “DNA” of our church. Church is for everyone, not just “church people.” Hope to see you soon.
