Crosstown Connection July 10 - 17
Projects & Supply Donation for VBS
We certainly have projects for all skill levels as we prep for My Street VBS. There are also a number of pre-packaged snack items needed, too. Please drop off items at Polly's home before Friday, July 17 at 8:00pm. We will not be collecting cash donations this year.
How do you attend VBS?
There will be 3 different locations offered in friends' yards for My Street VBS. Families will reserve a blanket by registering, which will allow for social distancing. The July 20-23, 6:00-7:00pm in Bloomington site has been eliminated due to low enrollment.

Please complete your registration at least ONE WEEK before your desired VBS time.
Please contact Polly if you have questions.
"Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness, tremble before him all the earth" Psalm 96:9
As we navigate through an incredibly challenging year, I want to encourage you to continue or resume the practice of engaging in worship. At the core, worship is about expressing our love for God and listening to His voice. Without worship, we begin to lose contact with God's active and good presence in our lives. Let's agree together to resist that fate! Instead, let us listen afresh to God's voice and lean into His presence!! I look forward to being with you on Sunday, July 12!!! Pastor John
Prayer Gatherings- July 19 & 26
As we continue our walk through the pandemic, where is God calling Crosstown to go? What does He want us to hear, learn, or do? Help us to cover our next phases of Crosstown's reopening in prayer.
There are 4 prayer gatherings available (July 19 & 26th at 10:00 & 11:00) to join and each session has limited in-person openings. You can also join the gatherings on Zoom. Please note that the sound may be limited due to mask usage.
Need a Facemask?
Thanks to Iris Smyth and Nancy Peterson we have a stocked facemask box at church. Masks are available in different sizes (even children's sizes) and are yours to keep. Drop by and pick one up.
Yard Work
The weeds have loved the weather this summer, and without our spring cleanup day the church yard has become a little overrun. If you would like to help with some weeding, trimming, or other tasks please contact Marcia. marciaannwilkins@hotmail.com
