Free Medical Clinic on January 2
December 16, 2009 by Bill Scharffenberg
Filed under Events and Activities
Our free medical clinic is available to anyone with no health insurance or who cannot afford treatment. If you have insurance, please use it so that this free clinic can be for people who have no other access to a doctor.
Are you worried a lingering sore throat might be strep throat? Are you diabetic and need help getting your blood sugar under control? Are you worried about cholesterole? Do you need a prescription refill to take to the pharmacy? Our medical staff will see patients 5 years old and up, and can help you with these types of basic medical care.
Quality medical care is provided for people who need it. Friendly volunteers will greet you and help with the medical history form. All of our clinic staff maintain the strictest standards for keeping medical records confidential between you and the doctor that will treat you. Spanish translation is also available when necessary.
This month we have three health care providers for the clinic. This means we will be able to register 60 patients to be seen. Additional patients will be accepted at the end of the day if there is time available. We are sorry to limit the number of patients the doctors see, but we also want to provide quality care and that takes time. We hope you understand.
If you have any questions about the clinic you can reach one of our staff by calling 916-514-6163. The staff can provide detailed information about the type of care provided at the clinic.
This is a recurring event that happens the first Saturday of each month from 1:00 to 6:00 pm. The next several events will be: Jan 2, Feb 6, and Mar 6.

Friday Prayer on January 1

Filed under Events and Activities
Is it possible to have too much prayer in your life? We don’t know yet. So far we haven’t prayed enough to run out of things to talk about with God! This coming Friday evening we will meet together for a simple meal at 6:30pm, followed by prayer until about 8:00pm. If you have never prayed in a group before, you are welcome to join us and just observe quietly. If you have something personal that you want to pray about among friends, we will gladly join in praying with you and for you. At Crossroads we are on a journey of learning what it means to pray to God and hear what He has to say to us. Please consider coming along with us!
This is a recurring event that happens on the first and third Friday of each month at the Crossroads worship center. The next several times: Jan 1, Jan 15, and Feb 5.

Friday Prayer on December 18

“I think my experience with prayer is not much different from most – the Jesus I was raised with was a cosmic santa claus. You had to be flattering to butter Him up, but also concise, as He was very busy…… Many years later I still fight my early tendencies, yet struggle I will.
“Coming to our prayer sessions on Friday nights has been a good exercise for me. I am not always in the mood but the discipline is so good in my life.
“Learning to give God control, trying to discern what His plans are, and letting Him allign my heart to His is never a boring ride! Not always easy, always worthwhile.”
– Nancy Sayers, member at Crossroads
We will begin with a potluck dinner together at 6:30. Following dinner, we will spend about an hour together in prayer and finish up around 8:00.
This is a recurring event that happens on the first and third Friday of each month at the Crossroads worship center. The next several times: Dec 18, Jan 1, and Jan 15.
