Fundraisers for Cancer Treatments

 Several events are in the works for raising funds for Jeff Austin to receive cancer treatments: 
  • Do you have fine or costume jewelry to get rid of? A jewelry wholesaler has agreed to give the proceeds to Jeff's fundraiser. Drop your jewelry off at Cathy's office between now and the end of November.  
  • If you are ready to "de-clutter," consider participating in a church-wide Yard Sale in November. Details coming soon. 
Check out  www.jeffsbeatscancer.weebly.com for updates on Jeff's progress to see how else you can get involved!

Momentum Retreat

Men, mark your calendars for the Momentum Mountain Retreat November 9-11!

We'll be returning to Ridge Haven Retreat in Brevard, NC, for a time of reflection in God's Word, rich fellowship, and great food. The cost of the retreat is $125, and we ask a $60 deposit at time of registration to hold your spot. Register online at www.columbiacrossroads.org/men or complete the connection card in Sunday's bulletin!  
New Bible Club Ministry 

In January, we have an outreach opportunity available at East Point Academy, South Carolina's only Chinese Immersion school.   

There are over 200 students attending from many cultural backgrounds, and we are hoping to start an after-school "Good News Bible Club" through Child Evangelism Fellowship.  We need 9 more volunteers over the age of 15 that would be willing to serve on this team for 6 weeks. 

If you are interested and for more information, please contact Allison Shipman at  allison@columbiacrossroads.org.
New Equipping Class

Bible openJoin Rob Hannus at 9:30 a.m. starting October 7 in the Impact Student Room for "The Christian and Politics."

This series will explore the Biblical purpose for civil government and what our attitude and actions should be toward God-ordained authorities.  
50 & Beyond Picnic

Join 50 & Beyond for a picnic in the park - and walking/strolling too!  Just $5/person will cover the cost of Subway sandwich and entrance into the park.

Bring a side dish/salad or dessert and gather at the Dogwood Pavilion, on October 20 from 1-4 p.m.  At the gate, mention you are with Columbia Crossroads Church to avoid the entrance fee. Drinks and tableware provided.
