The Church in action

This is a picture of the group that went out last Saturday (July 23) to the area around us, giving out flashlights to every home, with the imprint, "in the darkness, Jesus is the light," with the CrossRoad logo on it. Through the summer we have an outreach program, called "Summer Unleashed." Each Saturday, anywhere from 30-50 members of the church go out, giving away gifts, praying, blessing and serving our neighborhood. We have people from one year to over 70 years of age going out. It's been a great time, and is having lasting results. Lives are being changed by just loving our neighbors, our neighbors as well as ours! And visitors are coming in weekly saying, "we got your gift, and wanted to check out what was going on." We love it. As Steve Sjogren (the pastor who inspired this kind of outreach) said, "we're just showing the love of Jesus in a practical way."
