God-sized Questions
"Will I accept God's love?"

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Palm Sunday

What's all this Palm Sunday, Good Friday, dying on a cross stuff about anyway?  It's about the love of the God of the universe Who would rather die than to live without us.

But what will we do with that love?  Will we embrace it and love Him back?  Or will we reject His love, and His joy and His peace along with it?

This Sunday is 5th Sunday!!!
rake
March 29th!

DON'T FORGET!

March 29*, will be our first 5th Sunday!  We will meet in the high school parking lot at 9am and will caravan over to Rossman Park (at Marshall and 5th St.) to do some raking and general spring clean up.  We'll plan on working until around noon or so.

Bring a picnic lunch for after so we have a good excuse to hang out and talk afterwards.

It's BOYR (bring your own rake!) so if ya got 'em, bring 'em!  We will have some extras if you don't have a rake.

Everyone is welcome!

This means that there will be
NO SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE at the high school.  Our worship service will be in our serving at the park.

* Please note if it is raining (I mean really pouring) we will change the time of the work project to Saturday, April 4, meeting at the high school at 9am.

Attention softball players and fans!

Our softball games will be Sunday nights at either 5, 6, or 7 pm starting April 26th in Otsego at Memorial Park.  We're still looking for a couple more women to play on the team.

We will play 12 games and have a single elimination tournament at the end. 

Even if you're not playing plan on coming out to the games to cheer on the team and hang out with Bridge folks and other people in the stands.

We'll send out the game schedule as soon as we have it.

Bridge Kids
KidMo
Bridge Kids (K-4th grades) are still looking for another teacher (or two) and some more helpers on Sunday mornings. 

The curriculum is great!  Just come in Sunday morning and get your detailed lesson plan that tells you exactly what the lesson is and what the teaching points are.  Enjoy the exciting, funny, informative and interactive multimedia DVD's for the Bible lesson. 

Afterward use the "Q-Cards" with discussion questions to lead the kids into a deeper understanding and application of what they learned that day.  All this with no preparation necessary earlier in the week! 

If you're interested in loving kids as a teacher or helper on Sunday mornings contact Roger at roger@crossingtogether.com.
