 Our Response
Special Project: Would you love to help out the Eagan Campus
and get a tax deduction at the same time? We are hoping to carpet
the kids’ wing, put up lamp posts on the walkway and update our
signage in the building! We’ve been given a significant ($8,000)
savings for the carpet that we’re hoping to take advantage of and
you could help make that happen! Clearly mark your offering
“EAGAN SPECIAL PROJECTS”. Thank you for helping us make this
building warm and inviting!

This weekend we continue our
JOURNEY THROUGH GENESIS
————————–——
As we journey through Genesis, it doesn’t take long
for things to get messed up. By the time we get to
chapter 6, mankind has “hit bottom.” God sends a
devastating flood to the world, which changes
everything. Thankfully though, the flood is not
the end of the story. It is actually the
turning point for God and his people.
A rainbow in the sky is the promise of a new day and
a new arrangement. Characters like Noah and
Abraham take the stage, and we see God’s real
intent—not to end his wayward people, not to
wipe them out, but to woo them back to Himself;
to enter into a new and deeper relationship with
Him, and to begin the journey of restoration.
 A “Dig Deeper” notebook for this message series
is available at the Adult Ministries table. Suggested
donation is $5. Resources are also available online
at CrossroadsChurch.cc/Sermons/Genesis.
Welcome! We are glad you have chosen to spend a part of your
weekend with us. If you're new to Crossroads, here's a quick
snapshot of what we love… We love to laugh and have fun. We
weren't listening when they said church was supposed to be boring.
We love to serve others. We believe that the greatest life is a life
lived for others. We love being authentic. Pretending to be perfect
is too tiring. That's why our motto is "no perfect people allowed."
At Crossroads we love Jesus so much that our vision is to become a
movement of Jesus-like people who do Jesus-like stuff.
