New Ministry - "Safe Families"

family Over the next few weeks, you will begin to hear more about a new ministry at Crossroads called "Safe Families."  This is a ministry to help families in need before they become involved with DSS.  There are many families who need assistance with their children for a short period of time, for one reason or another, and this ministry was created out of the desire to see the church fill that need.

Even now, three children in the Columbia area (ages 7, 5 and 2 all with some special need) need of a place to stay for a few months while their mom undergoes two surgeries.  The children can be split up, and we have more details for anyone that might be willing to help. If you are willing to care for these children, please contact Laurin Headley at laurin@columbiacrossroads.org.
