There will be live music, a K-9 and Karate demonstration, a chili cook-off and a “Basket Bonanza” silent auction. People will have an opportunity to bid on more than 30 lovely “theme” baskets. Pony rides, moonwalk, clowns, face painting are among some of the activities for the kids. Lots of food and other refreshments!

Lastly, we need business sponsors for our event. If you own a business or work for a business and would like to have your company get involved, please contact us. There are many levels of support and each business will receive different levels of sponsor recognition For more information please contact Hannah Clark at 704.782.2221 or email hannah@concordpregnancy.com

Lights....Camera......Worship!

Lights... Camera... Worship! There are many people who work behind the scenes every week to ensure that we have a great worship experience at Crossroads. The Media Team is always looking for people who have a passion for serving behind the scenes in the areas of sound, lighting, video, and stage production. Here are some examples of where you can get plugged in.

Camera Operator- Be a part of the video team by running a camera during Sunday morning services. This is a great way to get involved in the media team and requires little experience to start out.

Some computer experience is helpful in this position as well as being familiar with praise and worship songs.
