Citizenship Re-Imagined

Our mission is to join God in his Kingdom project of justice, renewal and redemption. We believe the legitimacy of our faith and our community comes from our selfless service; becoming Good News to the poor and the oppressed, the broken and the lost. We believe the church is at its best when it serves, sacrifices and loves, caring about the things God cares about. This week, join us at 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm, as we pause, come to stillness and prayerfully have a conversation with God about how we are being called to join a movement to renew our neighborhood. Continue the conversation here.

Blood Drive on April 24

Giving blood is one of the most generous gifts a human being can give to another. Every day hundreds of people in our region need blood. We often think first of victims from an auto crash or a traumatic industrial accident. We imagine doctors in the emergency room working frantically and calling for blood to save a life. However, many more people also need transfusions including: burn patients, those fighting cancer and leukemia, many premature babies, those going for heart surgery, and organ transplant recipients. All of these people will need blood or products extracted from donated blood in order to survive. It is not an exaggeration to say that regularly donating blood means you will accumulate a list of anonymous people that are alive only because you decided to give the gift of life.

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.

Friday Prayer on March 19

Are you experiencing a hungering desire to know yourself better? To get closer to God? To make a difference in your community? These yearnings are inborn—yet it may take you years to appropriately identify them. Once recognized, how do you deal with these longings, which leave you restlessly empty until satisfied? Prayer! Prayer moves you inward into personal transformation, upward toward intimacy with God, and outward to minister to others.

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: Mar 19, Apr 2, and Apr 16.
