THIS SUNDAY! | Join us for SERVE SUNDAY

Serve Sunday is this Sunday, November 9 at 9 AM! Join us as we worship through service, living out our value of Generous Service and our mission to help the lost get found and the found live free by serving our neighbors. We’ll begin at Crossroads Napoleon with a short time of prayer before teaming up with our NapNaz partners to serve individuals and organizations across the community. After finishing the projects, return to Crossroads at 11:30 AM for a hot dog lunch as we celebrate all that God has done through our worship in action!

See you at Crossroads this Sunday at 9 AM!


Night of Worship | Sunday, November 9 at 6 PM

After a powerful morning of serving our community, let’s come together again for a time of worship and reflection! Join us Sunday evening, November 9, at 6 PM (Please NOTE this is a change in time) as we gather to celebrate all that God has done through Serve Sunday. It will be a special time to lift our voices, give thanks, and center our hearts on Jesus together.

Financial Stewardship | A Class to Live Generously

Are you interested in learning how to apply Biblical wisdom to your personal finances? We are exploring bringing a financial training course to Crossroads to equip you with practical tools for budgeting, saving, and living generously. Your input is essential!

Please take a moment to fill out this quick form and let us know if you’d be interested in attending a resourcing event or class on financial stewardship if it becomes available.


Winter Gear Needed for Renewed Minds

Can you help keep someone warm this winter? The Renewed Minds Rehab Program is asking for new or gently used coats, hats, and gloves for the men attending their program. We’ve successfully met this need before, and your generosity can help us do it again!

Your donation of new or gently used items makes a direct, practical difference. Place the donated items in the box in the lobby.


🎁 A Gift That Changes Everything | Join Operation Christmas Child! 🎁

Imagine the pure wonder on a child’s face receiving their first gift. That’s the power of Operation Christmas Child, and you can be a part of it!

Each year, we partner with Samaritan’s Purse to fill simple shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and fun trinkets. These boxes travel around the world, transforming into powerful tools for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The mission is simple yet profound: give a tangible expression of God’s love to children in need. Local churches hand out these boxes at celebratory outreach events where the message of Jesus is presented in a way children can understand. A simple soccer ball or doll becomes more than a toy—it’s a symbol of hope and care for the child, their family, and their whole community.

Let’s work together to make this year our biggest collection yet!

Need ideas? Click here for suggestions

Pick Up a Box: Boxes and packing instructions are available in the Lobby outside the Worship Centre.

Return Date: Please return your filled shoebox to the church by Sunday, November 23rd .
