  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Posted on by CCM Comment
    Dear Crossroads Family,
         Today we are living in the truth of the Apostle Paul’s words, “I thank my God for the constant memory of you.”  Philippians 1:3

     

     For…
     Gifts great and small,
    Acts of kindness and service,
    generosity abounding…
     
    Silent gifts, Out-loud gifts,
    Faithful service for the audience of One.
     
    You love God…
    all because He first loved you.
     
         On this Thanksgiving Day, you will be prayed for at our table.  With tears, smiles and gratitude too deep for words, we will remind our Loving God of you… God will respond to us by deepening our love and commitment to you.  May you all be aware of the Father’s generosity in every moment, the Son’s great love in every relationship, and the Spirit’s beauty in every prayer. 

     

    With a heart of thanksgiving,

     

    Scott and Clare

  • Praying Your Vote

    Posted on by Don Comment

    God of all Kingdoms and Kings, You hear our prayers.  We pray for all voters, that we would know Your laws and vote in ways that promote Your Kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy.

    We pray for those who will be voted into positions of public trust, especially our president and congressional leaders, that they may serve justice and promote the dignity and freedom of all people.

    We pray that we will not speak evil of the person that we voted against and will take care not to judge those that are convicted to vote differently.

    We humble ourselves, seek your face and pray that you would forgive our sins and heal our land. God, we pray that your Kingdom would come and Your will would be done on earth as it is in heaven.

    We place our country in your hands.

    Amen

  • Proofs and Presence

    Posted on by ScottnClare 1 Comment

    Easter continues…

    tomorrow we will be sharing the talk– AWAKEN:  PROOFS AND PRESENCE


     

    Then they told what had happened on the road,  

    and how he had been made known to them… Luke 24:35

    PROOFS AND PRESENCE

    On our road, you navigate the journey home.

    In our waiting,  you make our darkness light.

     

    When we are joyful,

    we walk by faith and not by sight.

    When we are grieving.

    we walk by faith and not by sight.

     

    When darkness surrounds us,

    we place our hope in your unchanging Word.

    When light illuminates the way,

    we put our hope in your unchanging Word.

     

    Awakened, we live by Presence.

    Aware, we live by Proof.

    We always live by faith in the Son of God,

    who loves us and gave His life for us.
