CrosStone explores the persecuted Church in China

Come and join us this week at CrosStone as we explore the persecuted Church in China through an “all-play” event.  We are excited about Wednesday’s CrosStone meeting.  Through food, fellowship, family, and fearsome secret police, we will learn what it feels like to have to sneak around to worship God.

So often, we hear about the persecution that our brothers and sisters in Christ experience on an everyday basis, but rarely do we concieve of what it would be like for us to suffer the same hardship.  Being able to stand boldly and publically proclaim faith in Christ is a luxury that we take for granted.   Our prayer is that what we experience at CrosStone this week will motivate us to pray fervently for those who are persecuted and to thank God daily for our liberty.

Please invite your friends to join us on Wednesday, January 28 at 7:00 in the CrosStone room

SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!

Mr. Jeff

CrosStone’s Fall Retreat

Hey Guys, we are really looking forward to Friday evening when we leave to go to Camp Silver Beach for our annual CrosStones fall retreat.  It promises to be a great time of bonfires, devotions, worship, challenge courses and more.  Be at Greenbrier Church @ 6:00 on Friday and we will take the Church Bus.

Be sure to get a copy of the permission forms,  and list of things to bring and not bring Wednesday night at youth group.

I am very excited that Mark Keating will be speaking.  He is a dynamic speaker with a wealth of knowledge of the power of God.  Make sure that you spend a lot of time in prayer this week to prepare your heart to receive what God has for you.  I believe that God is going to impact you all this weekend with a life changing touch of His presence.

Mrs. Debbie and I are praying for you as you all get back to school this week.  Be sure to stand for righteousness and acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and He will make your path straight.

SEE YOU WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

What’s happening at CrosStone.

Great stuff today for the first meeting of Sunday School after Move UP Sunday.  It was fun to have some “alumni” return and especially nice having some new people.  I enjoyed teaching on Prov. 3:5,6.  Remember to acknowledge God in all (every one) of your ways and HE will make your path straight.

MRS. Debbie and I are excited about Wednesday night.  We are going to kick off our first Wednesday Meeting of CrosStone with our rising sixth graders with PIZZA!!!!!!!   There will be a lot of other great things going on so we hope that everyone will be there.
