Thank you to YOU!

On Sunday February 15th, Pastor Lowell spoke how Crossroads Church was going to bless several churches in our community by taking 10% of the General Offering and mailing $100.00 to each of them. Pastors Lowell and Craig chose the churches that were going to be blessed by Crossroads.

Here are some of the kind words from those churches that received the funds

"...your generosity, your Kingdom vision, and vision for our community is a reflection of God's heart" - The Refuge

"We appreciate you generous expression of love..." - Jackson Park United Methodist Church
