Crossroads Church organizes blood drives in conjunction with BloodSource. The drives happen on a regular schedule at the frequency recommended by doctors as healthy for donors. We provide a safe and welcoming place to give blood, often with extra special refreshments. Medical staff from BloodSource take you through the process of donating. We think you will find it a very worthwhile and gratifying experience. The blood drive will begin at 12:30pm in our our worship center located at 1101 National Dr and will conclude at 4:30pm.

For more information on donating blood contact Gary Myers (himself a champion blood donor) by email at gary(a)btcsac.com.

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 45 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.

Natomas Crossroads Clinic is partially funded by the genrosity of the Kaiser Permanente Community Grants Benefit Program of Northern California Region-Sacramento Valley Area. We also have received partial funding from Catholic Healthcare West in Sacramento.

If you have any questions about the clinic you can reach one of our staff by calling 916-514-6163 or sending an email message to nccfree(a)gmail.com. 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: Aug 7, Sep 4, and Oct 2.

We wish to be a community marked by movement in our lives. We want our souls to experience growth, expansion and development. And we have learned that this has driven us to prayer. Richard Foster’s words are beginning to ring true: To pray is to change.

Join us this Friday evening as we open our doors for prayer. Beginning at 7 pm we will have opportunities to join together to pray for one another, celebrate the joys and lament the pains in our lives in the presence of God. Those interested in exploring the contemplative prayer tradition will find our worship center open for opportunities to engage in silence, solitude and directed prayer.

Come join us as we change.

Join us this Friday as we open for prayer. Deeply rooted in our story is our desire to be a people marked by an awareness and responsiveness to God’s Presence, God’s Spirit. In prayer we enter into places of stillness and silence so God’s Spirit can be noticed and allowed to shape us.

We encounter God’s Spirit through corporate prayer and contemplative prayer. Each is an avenue for placing ourselves in the presence of the Spirit so we may be empowered to live differently. We are open for prayer. Join us at 7pm.

Participants will catch up on the good and bad news about a very old meat substitute: gluten. AKA seitan (sigh-tahn), not “satan”, this wheat based wonder (or curse), can fill the gap on the plate for meat lovers who are switching to plant based meals. Led by Karen Medeiros, we will learn how to make homemade gluten and turn it into “chicken fried steak” and enjoy a summer supper. Invite your meat eating friends!

Dinner service begins at 6:30 p.m. followed by the presentation at 7:00 p.m. Space is limited and cost is $10 per person.  Please call 916-835-8132 for reservations.

Crossroads exists for all of you. We deeply value creating space that allows for authenticity, for the real you to be embraced, welcomed and brought into the presence of God.

We welcome you, the real you, to join us this Friday at 7 pm as we open our doors for prayer. In prayer we learn to allow God and others to see us as we really are. We receive permission to live authentically and openly as we join with others in a conversation with God and as we come to stillness in contemplative prayer. Opportunities for both will be available.
