Building Bridges to God and Helping People Across
"It's urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living. -- John 5:24 (The Message)
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. – Romans 12:1

Today’s Speaker is Dr Bill Duey. Bill teaches at Concordia Lutheran College and is the executive director of Fit-2-Serve, a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 that equips God's people for works of service through educational efforts targeting the development of intellectual, physical, and spiritual wellness so that empowered by the Spirit the Body of Christ may strengthen, grow, and be filled with joy.
Annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet – This is our Don’t Miss event. We want you there! It will be catered by Niemergs. Everyone will get a reward. We want to thank the people that make The Crossover work, and those people are you! Put February 18th on the calendar. Save the date!
Introduction to Coaching – Pastor Brian has become a coach trainer. Coaching is simply this: helping a person get from where they are to where they want to go. This training would be ideal for our church leaders, for parents, or for anyone who wants to help people move forward. We are also developing Discipleship Coaching to help people move from where they are to where God wants them to be. If you are interested in this class, talk to Pastor Brian. Cost is $10.
Invite a Friend – Is there someone you know who would enjoy The Crossover? Invite them to church next Sunday. We find more people are willing to come in January, February, and March than any other month.
Offering – We do take an offering at The Crossover, but we don’t pass a plate. Please place your offering in the donation box located in the last row of chairs. Thank you!
