If you haven't purchased your youth the book "Do Hard Things" by Alex & Brett Harris, why haven't you? Get your youth reading it today so they can talk about it during these fellowships.

West Viriginia Mission Trip is HERE!!!!

The truck is loaded with food and clothes. The buses are fueled and ready. Tomorrow at both the 9am & 10:30am worship services these missionaries wearing their "Crossover" t-shirts and jeans, singing some of their musical selections for the trip, and sharing one of the drama skits will be ready to be commissioned and sent out. To God be the Glory!

Join us at 2:30 pm as the buses pull out of the church parking lot for a week of missions in West Virginia but a life time of experiences that will affect their journeys ahead. Please remember to pray for them daily throughout this week as they feed the hungry, build relationships in the name of Christ & sing to the hills of God's goodness.
