Boy Scout Sunday
February 5
On Sunday, February 5, Boy Scouts from Troop 184 will be participating in our worship service and hosting a pancake, egg and sausage breakfast for us from 9:00 until 10:15 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. Cost for the breakfast is $3.50 per person, $6.00 per couple, or $8.00 per family. Cross Roads Men’s Association sponsors the Boy Scout Troop, and they hold their weekly meetings here in our Fellowship Hall. The Scout Breakfast has become an annual tradition, as part of their way of thanking Cross Roads for its sponsorship. Please join us for this delicious meal!
Souper Bowl
February 5
On Superbowl Sunday, take a few minutes to think about those who have no food for a tailgate party, who don’t know where their next meal is coming from, those who don’t even have a bowl of soup to eat. We ask that you help to meet their need through our Souper Bowl of Caring. Following worship on February 5 our youth will be at the doors of the sanctuary with soup pots, to collect your donations for our Food Pantry, as we provide real “soup” – and so much more – those in need!
Meeting of the
Congregation and Corporation
February 12
The Session of Cross Roads has called a meeting of the Congregation and Corporation of Cross Roads Church for Sunday, February 12 at 12:15 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. At this meeting we will receive the 2011 Annual Reports, elect members to our Nominating Committee, receive the 2012 budget, and conduct any other business as appropriate.
A luncheon will be available prior to the meeting, prepared by our Junior and Senior high youth as a fundraiser for their summer mission trips. There is no set cost for the lunch, but donations will be accepted.
Please make every effort to attend.
Women’s Bible Study
February 12 and
26
All women are invited to join our twice-monthly Women’s Bible Study, held Sunday evenings at the home of Monica Schirm, 162 Penn Lear Drive. We’ll be studying “Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent” by Beth Moore. Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 Psalms model how study participants can voice their own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us. Explore the major feasts of Israel and journey through Psalms 120-134. Themes such as unity, joy and gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in detail. Modern-day believers can learn much from these treasured Psalms in their journey toward greater intimacy with God. We will meet on February 12 and February 26 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. If you would like to purchase a study guide, please call Monica at 412-372-7558.
