UPDATE Through your generosity to the Game Change campaign, we are providing aftercare to girls rescued from forced prostitution. In Mumbai, we recently opened two new aftercare homes, and a third will open soon. In Kolkata, we’re now funding ongoing operations of an existing, quality home that provides holistic care. For more info on our India initiative, visit crossroads.net/india.

Relax. It’s OK to laugh at church. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take what we do VERY seriously. As a result, we like to make fun of ourselves, and sometimes, the Bengals. We believe that God has a sense of humor and that you should, too. But if you don’t think it’s funny, feel free to email us, and later we’ll have a good laugh at what you wrote. (Kidding! See? We did it again.)

SERVE WITH HABITAT
WHEELS NEEDS YOUR CAR
Volunteers are needed for the next Habitat for Humanity project. Learn new skills or use the ones you have to help provide a home for a deserving family. To sign up, go to crossroads.net/habitat.
If you have a used car that’s in decent condition, consider donating it to Wheels. We’ll recondition it, and give it to a member of our community. You’ll receive a tax deduction and, more importantly, the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve been a huge blessing to someone in need. To donate, call 513.731.7400 x8113 or email
[email protected].
WEEKDAY PREP TEAM First Impressions needs reliable and detailed admin volunteers to serve in Oakley. Commitment is two hours on Monday or Thursday mornings every week. Tasks vary from cleaning, prepping supplies, stocking inventory and computer work. Email Greta Schraer at
[email protected].
FOSTER CARE/ADOPTION GROUP If you’re currently parenting kids who joined your family through adoption or foster care, and are looking for support through training, education and community, sign up for our September 17 meeting online at crossroads.net/adoption.
BAPTISM INFO SESSIONS If you or your child (kindergarten or older) is considering baptism, come to an info session to learn more. For specific dates, times and locations, and to sign up, visit crossroads.net/baptism.
