Resources for Church at Home
In the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak our gatherings at Crossroads UMC are offering online gatherings we are calling, “Church at Home”. This will be available live at 10 am on Sundays and then anytime that is convenient for you via our website or the GOTG0 app.
Read more from Pastor Dave on the steps Crossroads UMC is taking to help our community stay safe.
Each week there will be a message, special prayers, music, something for children, a way to share communion at home, and an online way for you to share prayer requests. You can do that here or by sending an email to the Nurture Guides.
If you weren't able to join us online on Sunday you may view our Sunday gathering here.
Resources for Families
Here are resources designed for families of all sizes including grandparents, aunts and uncles who can share this with extended family via Facebook or by forwarding this email.
Resources for Students
Additional Resources for Students can be found here.

Giving
Even in the midst of the Coronavirus crisis, the needs of Crossroads UMC go on. You may use online giving when we are unable to gather for worship at Crossroads, the Gotgo App, PayPal, or mail your gift to Crossroads UMC.
Serving
During times of crisis, people want to provide support to those most affected and vulnerable. In response to COVID-19, individuals and families have been encouraged to limit contact with others in our community. Crossroads will no longer be able to serve in ways we are accustomed to, at least for the time being. Here are new ways we can love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
