This week in The Link, we explore the powerful contrast between King Herod’s grip on control and the Magi’s posture of surrender as we conclude our "We Three Kings" series. You can also find opportunities to strengthen your marriage through our new quarterly ministry, gear up for our 2nd Annual Euchre Tournament, or equip yourself for ministry at the upcoming Biblical Counseling Training Conference. Whether you are looking to donate winter gear for Renewed Minds or join a ConnectGroup, there is a place for you to grow and serve at Crossroads this season.

This week, we reflect on a one-of-a-kind birth announcement given to lowly shepherds—a reminder that there is a place in God's Kingdom for all of us. Between our Christmas Eve service tonight at 6pm and upcoming events like the Euchre Tournament and Marriage Matters, there are so many ways to connect, serve, and grow with the Crossroads family.

This week’s edition explores the "Royal Scandal" of Christmas, inviting us to trade our polished PR versions of ourselves for the restorative grace Jesus brings into our real-life messes. Beyond the Sunday service, the community is mobilizing to provide essential furniture for a local immigrant family and collecting winter gear for the Renewed Minds rehab program. Looking ahead, the church is celebrating a year of growth in the 2025 Annual Report and opening registrations for upcoming events like Crossroads 101 and the annual Youth Ice Camp.

This week's newsletter introduces the new Advent sermon series, Hidden Royalty, focusing on surrender rather than hustle to find true dignity. The church also has an urgent Mercy Ministry need for furniture and household items to help a newly arrived immigrant family of six start over. Additionally, there are several upcoming events, including a Youth Group Gift Wrapping Fundraiser for Ice Camp, the CR Kids Christmas Program, and the Candlelight Christmas Eve Service.

This week, join us as we conclude our study in 1 John, focusing on the deep assurance of eternal life found in God's faithfulness. You can show Christ's love in tangible ways by donating furniture for a newly arrived immigrant family and helping to supply winter gear for Renewed Minds. Also, mark your calendars for the CR Kids Christmas Program on December 14th and let the Youth Group wrap your holiday gifts on December 13th to support Ice Camp!
