Adult Ministries
We would love to have you join us!
Tuesdays, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Crossroads Ministry Center
We’d love to have you join us for a time of fellowship and worshipful, interactive, and relevant Bible study (with small group discussions and sharing) to help us live out our faith in our world today. Children are welcome to stay with their parents or play in the nursery.
We invite you to join us any or every week—
and bring a friend!
At a time of so much uncertainty and division, there is one prayer that promises to unite us. Most Christians know the Lord’s Prayer by heart. We pray it often, at different times and in different settings. We remember it as the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples. But do we really understand and appreciate the meaning and power of its words, what we ask of God each time we pray it, and what it asks of us?
When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, Jesus gave them this prayer. He likely taught it to His followers often, not just one time. He never intended the Lord’s Prayer to be a museum piece, framed and placed on a mantel or in a display case. It was Jesus teaching God’s people, through His disciples, how to pray.
In our 6-week series on The Lord’s Prayer: The Meaning and Power of the Prayer Jesus Taught written by Adam Hamilton, we will explore this prayer and what it teaches us as a pattern for our own prayer life.

Other Ministries
Stop in the Church Library and take a look at all the books, CD’s and DVD’s available to borrow at no charge.
Here’s a few selections that we have to offer:
We spent a lot of time cleaning out old books and adding newer ones! Most materials are now color-coded by topic to make it easier to find what you are looking for. In addition to books, we have DVDs and CDs. For small group studies we have lots of books, DVDs and study guides to choose from!
Here are a few items we have:
“Won’t You Be My Neighbor” – DVD
For over 30 years, Fred Rogers, an unassuming minister, puppeteer, writer and producer, was beamed daily into homes across America. In his beloved television program, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Fred and his cast of puppets and friends spoke directly to young children about some of life’s weightiest issues, in a simple, direct fashion. There hadn’t been anything like Mr. Rogers on television before and there hasn’t been since.
“Chasing Vines” – Beth Moore
Join bestselling author Beth Moore in her life-changing quest of vine-chasing–and learn how everything changes when you discover the true meaning of a fruitful, God-pleasing, meaning-filled life
“God Is With You Every Day” – Max Lucado
This 365-day devotional begins each week with a prayer and scripture, followed by six days of devotions and scripture for reflection
“Decades”- The Martins CD
The Martins have been a Christian music favorite for years. This DOVE Award-winning, Grammy-nominated trio is known for its impeccable harmony and diverse musical abilities. DECADES captures, for the first time, many of the group’s hits, concert and fan favorites and previously unreleased recordings from the past 10 years on one highly anticipated cd collection.
Faith Matters Sunday school: “Around the Bible in 70 Days” Join us for a 10-week journey through the Bible as we follow along with the History Channel miniseries “The Bible.” Each week you’ll watch an episode on your own, and then we will discuss the scriptures behind each episode when we meet – Sundays at 10:15am in Room 22 or on zoom starting today. This study will help us understand the history of the relationship between God and his creations and reveal new insights into your personal relationship with Christ. The study is appropriate for both adults and youth who want to gain a better understanding of the Bible and its teachings and themes—regardless of whether you are already familiar with the Bible or whether you haven’t had a Bible class since 3rd grade. Please sign up in the Parlor and contact Renee Benham for the zoom link, how to get a copy of the DVD, and other questions.

Adult Sunday School Class:
On SEPTEMBER 11, a six-week study entitled “Called” by Susan Robb will begin in Room 22 at 9 a.m. on Sunday Morning and you are invited to be a part of this study. God calls us to a life that we could never imagine on our own. Throughout the Bible, God interrupts the lives of ordinary men and women, calling and empowering them to lives of service they never could have imagined on their own! Join us for this study as we grow deeper in our faith journey by exploring God’s call. (Books are available in the Parlor.)
