With COVID-19 making a resurgence and more people exposed, some families are not sure whether they should attend ministry at Faith.  We recommend you review the latest Quarantine and Isolation guidance to help in your decision making.

Life Group Sign-Ups - August 29, 2021

We all need community and friendship.  Sundays are necessary but rarely do we get to build meaningful, in-depth relationships only on Sunday mornings.  Life Groups exist to help you do that, to cultivate Christ-centered relationships.  Life Groups will begin this fall (the first week of September) and meet on weeknights throughout the SCV.  If you would like to join a Life Group, sign up online or on the Front Patio this Sunday.

SCVPC Walk For Life Sign-Ups - August 29, 2021

This year, the SCV Pregnancy Center will be holding the Walk for Life “Here, There, or Anywhere” on Saturday, September 25th.  Whether you join our group event at Crossroads Community Church or choose to walk somewhere on your own, you can support life.  Be sure to register for your walk online and join a team.    

God is working through the SCV Pregnancy Center to safe lives and souls.  Our church has the opportunity to bless those around us by taking part in this special event.  If you join us at Crossroads, our Faith Family will be gathering before the walk for a group picture, so be sure to join us!

Mercy Ministry Update from Brian Jones

We understand that some of you are still facing difficult times.  If you are facing a financial need but have been reluctant to ask for help because you think another needs it more, please reconsider.  Our Mercy Fund has Walmart gift cards, Target gift cards, and Arco fuel cards.  Financial assistance is also available to help with payments or bills.  We stand ready to serve and bless you with joy and discretion.  Please contact me, Brian, to learn more.

Giving Reminder

Thank you for continuing to give to the ministry here at Faith!  We have three convenient ways of receiving your support for the Lord's work.  One way is through online giving.  You can also deposit your giving on Sunday mornings in one of the locking offering boxes at the rear of the Sanctuary.  Lastly, you can mail your giving to the Church Office.
