Crosstown Connection: June 18 - July 1

A Word from Pastor Paul

This Sunday MN Adult & Teen Challenge will be leading us in worship - song and testimonials, followed by a pork sandwich lunch in the Commons. Come to be encouraged and share joy in what the Lord is doing in our community. And come to enjoy visiting with MN Adult & Teen Challenge folks over lunch together. All are invited to lunch provided by Brandon Polhemus.


Prayer-wise…..remember our Pastor Search Team…our financial shortfall….and our ministries to children, youth, campers, and adults that continue during these change of pace days of summer. And pray for our Ministry Teams as they look ahead and begin planning for fall.


We will continue our David sermon series on June 28,


Praying as we go, Pastor Paul
