Crosstown Connection

Crosstown Connection-Oct 3-17

Will you read through the New Testament in 2024? Earlier this year, Crosstown read through the 1st half of the NT. We continue our quest by reading through the 2nd half. Daily Bible readings will be based on the “Immerse Bible” that is available @ Crosstown for $10. Our top priority is to ask, “Lord Jesus, what are you seeking to say to me through your Word?” A podcast with the daily readings may be found at: https://www.immersebible.com/messiah-16-week/ There will be a Grow Group meeting to discuss these readings on Wednesdays @ 6:30 pm in the back of the Sanctuary.
