Mentoring Program at Seven Oaks

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.
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!
