God is your BFF

Happy Valentines Day: I hope that everyone had a great weekend!! This past week we learned that love does no wrong to others (Romans 13:10) We also got to talk about friends in Children's Church: this week show your friends God's love by doing them no wrong.

...ok, I must admit I never referred to anybody as my "BFF" growing up, but theses days it's all I hear. As I sit back and think of all the people that I've ever called a best friend I can honestly say that I've lost touch with a few of them. But today we learned that God is our BFF. I've never lost Him!! Sometimes we might get busy and caught up in something other than focusing on God, but He's never stopped: and never will!! He is our BEST FRIEND FOREVER!!! So if you have a best friend who doesn't know about your BEST FRIEND FOREVER, Jesus. This week would be a great time to tell them about Him!!

Remember that we have Bible study this Wednesday: dinner at 6:00PM. I look forward to seeing you there!!

God Always Sticks with Me!

It's so amazing to know that even when we feel all alone-we're not!! We learned that no matter where we go or where we are God is Always with Us!! Remember that you can always turn to God for help; but he's only going to help you with things that are right and honoring to Him!! He'll never say he's not there or that he doesn't have enough time. Come find out more on Wednesday night as we see who God stayed with while he helped them through a big hurdle!!

God's Power is Ginormous!

We had a great time Sunday morning learning about God's power!! Be sure to join us Wednesday night as we continue to learn about His strength and the things that we can do if He's on our side!

I hope that everyone stays warm and remembers to wear their jacket at the bus stop!!

Psalm 29:11 the Lord gives strength to his people

Children's Sunday

Well, everybody did a great job with the new Children's Sunday format! Remember we will be joining the adults on the last Sunday of every month; quarterly student's will receive "point certificates" that can be turned in at the Redemption Store as well as participating in the service. Thank you for your support as we continue to transition into "New Beginnings"

I hope that everyone has a great day at school tomorrow!! Remember to join us on Wednesdays for fellowship dinner and Bible study; starting at 6:00PM.

Next weekend is the Super Bowl and I want to remind you about our Souper Bowl of Caring. Crossroads goal is to collect 150 cans of soup before next Sunday-we're about a third of the way there!! If you can donate, please bring your donations to the Ministry Center-located at 3838 State Road 44 in New Smyrna Beach-anytime throughout the week or to church with you on Wednesday or Sunday!! Thanks for your support, all donations will be delivered to Halifax Urban Ministries: Food Pantry.

The B-I-B-L-E

The B-I-B-L-E, yes that's the book for me!

I stand alone on the word of God, the B-I-B-L-E.

January Update

Hi guys!! Man, the weather has been beautiful around here lately!! I hope that everybody (who has a day off) enjoys their day off!! This could be a wonderful time to talk about how BIG God is or to study your memory verse!!

Psalm 145:3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise: his greatness no one can fathom.

I also wanted to let all of our volunteers know that this Thursday, January 22nd we will be meeting to discuss the year and Crossroads Kids Ministry. 7:00PM, at my house. I look forward to seeing you there and if you are interested in volunteering there will be plenty of opportunity!! (so stay posted!)

This coming Sunday is Children's Sunday. There will be no Children's Church: only nursery will be provided. I think that we've been off to a great start! Remember to join us on Wednesday nights as we walk through the Bible with lessons that will take us from Genesis to Revelations!

...and remember that God never runs out of time!! If you need to talk to him he's always ready!! He'll always love you and he'll always be with you!!
