Potluck and Prayer on July 16
July 4, 2010 by Bill Scharffenberg
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: May 21, Jun 4, and Jun 18.

Potluck and Prayer on June 18
May 11, 2010 by Bill Scharffenberg
“God always meets us where we are and slowly moves us along into deeper things.” – Richard Foster
We have decided to be a community that is learning to pray. We believe prayer will help us to heal, to love, and to hear. We believe we will learn about ourselves, and the people with whom we worship and serve. And we believe it is something we must learn to do together. Join us this Friday evening for an opportunity to continue learning to pray. We begin with sharing a light potluck meal at 6:30 pm at the church and then provide two distinct hour-long opportunities to practice prayer: corporate and contemplative.
Come learn to pray with us – Potluck 6:30 pm – Prayer 7:00 pm

Friday Prayer on June 4
May 10, 2010 by Bill Scharffenberg
“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

Friday Prayer on April 2
March 3, 2010 by Bill Scharffenberg
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: Apr 2, Apr 16, and May 7.
