Hello, Crossroads Family!
Just a few quick reminders and answers to prayer!
If you’re in town this Sunday morning, join the family for worship at 10:00 at the Community Center. We’re going to take a special look at God’s plan for families and children. God has blessed some of us with children and grandchildren of our own; others among us will one day have children; and all of us in the Body of Christ are spiritual moms and dads, aunts and uncles, and cousins! How does God help us grow happy, healthy families! What an important part that is of our journey with the Lord! We’ll have a good time this Sunday! Hope you can join us!
If you’ve missed these two Sundays on either side of Spring Break, please be sure to catch up on sermons on the Crossroads Facebook page!
We give praise to God for guiding Kaleb Vestal and family through these difficult days of a burst appendix, surgery, and recovery. Thank you for your prayers. Thanks to God for protecting Kaleb, thus far, from infection, and for renewing strength in his body! Lord willing, he will go home from the hospital in the next couple of days!
Good news from one of our new missionaries! Colin Smith, missionary candidate to France with ReachGlobal (Evangelical Free Church Mission) has reached 100% of his financial support! Here are some ways Colin asks us to pray for him:
- Please pray for my visa application and interview next week to be approved.
- Please pray for God to give me wisdom and guidance throughout the final steps of preparing and saying goodbyes.
- Please continue to pray for my grandmother’s battle with cancer. She continues to respond well to her treatment, but her fight is still not over.
If you would like to stay in closer touch with Colin and/or receive his email updates, you can reach him at colin.welch@efca.org. Be sure to let him know you’re from Crossroads Church in Nevada MO!
Don’t forget our Crossroads youth group is starting back up on March 26, right after worship, with a new video study series called “The Power of Knowing God.” Meet at Jessica’s house, 402 S. Washington Street. Lunch will be provided!
We’re making a new church directory! Forms to fill out are available Sunday, or please reach out to Heather Hall so you can be included with all your correct contact information!
A community-wide Good Friday service, sponsored by the Nevada Ministerial Alliance, will be held at 7 pm on April 7 at First Presbyterian Church in Nevada. All are welcome to attend.
Our previous hometown of Hermann, Missouri, was hit hard last week by the shooting of two police officers, one fatally. As you think of it, please pray for the community and those closely affected. A good friend of mine and member of Emmanuel Ev. Free Church is currently police chief in Hermann.
“Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation” (Psalm 68:19).
