Wow!

      September has been a very awesome month for us.  Not only have we had fun, but we have learned a lot about God.  “Disciple Now” was   a huge success.  The speaker was awesome, the band rocked, and lives were changed.  We had one of our students accept Christ!  Praise the Lord!

      I have a few things for you youth and youth parents to mark on your calendars.  Wednesday October the 8^th is “Fields of Faith”.  We will be participating in a time of community worship on the EF football field at 7:00 PM.

      In addition to that, the evening of  Saturday October 18^th we will be going to ETBU to hear Josh McDowell speak.  Josh McDowell is a youth speaker as well as an author of many important books that deal with proofs of the existence of God and the truth of Scripture.  Both of these events are free and I encourage students AND parents to attend.

      I look forward to the future of the Youth ministry at Crossroads.  These students are the future of the Church.  Please pray for the

students and the leaders.
