This Sunday

Bible

God-sized Questions
"The Resurrection..so what?"

_______________>

Philippians 3:10

"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection"



_______________>

Happy Easter!

Easter is all about Jesus' resurrection, but what's the big deal and does it even matter to us in 2009?

Paul answers this question in 1 Corinthians 15:

"If Christ is not raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins . . . we are of all men most to be pitied."

The resurrection of Jesus MATTERS and we'll talk more about why this Easter Sunday!

Griswold Auditorium

Shine Under is made up of 3 young artists from Allegan, and one member, from NY.  They currently reside in Nashville TN and are working hard to make progress in the music industry, they have recently signed with a label, and produced their first CD.  They bring a high energy, positive message to their fans that are growing in numbers every time they listen to their new CD "No Place like Home".  Sean Rogers, the founder and leader is intentional about making a positive impact to the general Pop Rock music market and produce songs that are uplifting, positive, and fun. 
 
It will be a fun night and a night where local youth can see what others from their community are doing with their God given talents in a positive way. 
 
The proceeds from the concert will be going to a local charity.  It is also a sponsored event by Big Brother/Big Sisters offering free admission to the "Littles" who come with their "Bigs".

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.
