CrossWalk Wednesday Fellowship

 
The purpose of the CrossWalk Fellowship is to expand the discipling ministry of the church by providing a comprehensive midweek program offering fellowship, study, service, and ministry opportunities for the entire church body.  Dinner is served at 6:00 pm and CrossWalk activities starting at 6:45 or 7:00 pm.  Free childcare is available starting at 6:45 pm.

FELLOWSHIP MEAL
A simple meal for an inexpensive price enabling families and individuals to enjoy a time of fellowship around the table with their church family.   With three Sunday services and a busy lifestyle one of the missing components of our church life is fellowship.  The meals are catered by the CrossWalk team and Monroe Vocational Technology School in Leesburg.  The menu changes weekly and will include a main course, side dish, salad and dessert. The suggested donation for meals is $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for children with $18.00 maximum per family.

New Adult Study Series Starting in Spring 2013
 
April 2013:
 
Christ's Presence Dwells Within Us led by Randy Duncan.  At Easter we celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive.  He rose from the grave, conquering death and sin.  As His followers His living presence dwells within us.  That fact changes everything about how we live our lives.  What does it mean for us to be alive in Christ?  In an 8-week study we will explore how the indwelling Christ becomes the shaping power of our lives.
 
Christianity's Family Tree:  What Other Christians Believe and Why, led by Chris Richter.  This 8-week study, which is based on a book by Adam Hamilton, will look at the different mainline Christian denominations to better understand our differences and commonalities.
 
"Discipulado Extremo" (En Español), led by Luz Zuleta.
