Crosstown Connection Feb 6-12
..... 50 Days with Jesus .....
The sixth Chosen episode we will look at is "Indescribable Compassion." This episode explores Jesus' love for those that are "outcast" from society - lepers, Egyptians, and the lame. There is also a great scene where the children from episode 3 befriend Matthew the tax collector. And you get a little glimpse into the Zebedee family. This episode is based on the following Scripture passage: Mark 2:1-12. Watch all the episodes and Sunday sermons on our YouTube channel or on our website, or join us in person.
Lent 2021
The season of Lent is fast approaching with Ash Wednesday Feb 17th. Like Advent, we are working to put together Lent bags for you. Bags will contain ashes for self-imposition, palm branches, a devotion from Henri Nouwen's writings, and other treats. If you would like to receive a bag you need to raise your virtual hand with this form or contact Kristi.
Ash Wednesday- Feb 17
There will be three options to participate in Ash Wednesday this year. We will offer our traditional evening service at 7:00pm in person and on YouTube live.
Our third option is new. This is an "Invitation to Ashes" prerecorded video that invites you to contemplate Ash Wednesday whenever the timing works for your schedule. Ashes are included in your Lent Bags.
Wednesday Bible Study- Feb 10
On Wednesday we welcome a guest speaker from Texas. Dwight Ekholm will be leading 10:00 Bible Study through Zoom while Pastor John is on vacation. He will be speaking on Psalm 34:1-8. Dwight invites you to read this passage, meditate on it, and listen to it. Check out your app under Adult Ministry for a musical version.

Children's & Family Ministries exists to share Jesus' love with all children! Despite current challenges and restrictions to large gatherings God's love is still being shared through Families Together nights every other week, in addition to a special 4th/5th Graders small group called Following Jesus Together. Other highlights include new connections formed through members "adopting" a family with children and committing to pray and support them, as well as planning for a potential spring event. As life returns to normal there will be a need to fill Sunday School, Kids Too!, and other volunteer roles. We ask that you prayerfully consider where you might be able to serve in Children's ministry in the future! For more information on how you can help please email Polly Inestroza at polly@crosstowncovenant.org
