A FAITH COMMUNITY ON A JOURNEY
EVENTS
Here are some of the latest events coming up here at
Cross Roads Community UMC.
COMPASSION
CHILDREN
Compassion Children is one of the many outreach ministries we support here at Cross Roads. Currently, our congregation supports three children: Able, Deyas, and Lina. Each month our congregation's Mission Offering goes to funding these three young people.
Compassion International is a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from poverty and enables them to become Christian adults. This program is run entirely by local Christian churches in Africa, Asia, Central America and South America because the local congregations are the experts on their local communities.
If you would like to donate to the support of these three young persons, please make a donation either via check or online and make sure it is marked "Compassion Children." If you would like more information this organization, or to possibly sponsor your own child, click HERE.
March Mission Ministry
​Our March Mission Focus will be MN Food Share.
All funds collected during this month will be split between The Link's Food Pantry and The Kandiyohi Food Shelf. They partner with a grant that provides an increased purchasing power for their respective food shelves.
We are participating in a friendly competition with the other churches in the area for donations for The Link, so please give generously. To give electronically, just click HERE to be taken to our donation page. ​

LENTEN PROJECT
During the season of Lent, we will gather 40 ITEMS FOR 40 DAYS!
There will be bags available at the church. Each day of Lent, place one item of clothing that you no longer need or wear and place it in the bag.
On Palm Sunday, April 13th, we will place the bags on the steps in the Sanctuary and Pastor Leslie will bless them.
You can then either take the bags to donate, or the Missions team will
ensure they get donated. Let’s bless others!

Cross Roads Coffee Corner
Cross Roads is continuing one of its first small groups and everyone is invited!
Cross Roads "Coffee Corner" has changed its meeting dates. This small group will begin meeting the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9:00am in the Fellowship Hall. Everyone is invited to come as frequently or as little as you like. This is a time for coffee and fellowship; just a way to catch up with what is going on with others in the congregation, especially those you perhaps haven't had a chance to really talk to since the pandemic began, or those you would like to get to know better. If you would like to bring treats to share with others, feel free.
We encourage you to bring a friend, especially someone who doesn't have a church family. This would be a terrific way to introduce them to folks at Cross Roads in a casual setting.
We look forward to seeing you soon!!
