Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us - Ephesians 3:20
Siblings in Christ,
Crossroads Lutheran Church has begun a capital campaign to increase our ministry by eliminating our credit card debt and adding stability to our congregation by hiring a full-time pastor. A full-time pastor gives us the opportunity to increase our church family and become a vibrant presence for God in San Tan Valley and Florence. On Sunday, April 13th we will give an update on the capital campaign pledges we have received so far!
Please prayerfully consider what God is calling you to give above and beyond your regular giving to the Ministry of Crossroads. We appreciate every pledge we receive! Pledge cards are due by April 30, 2025. You may pay in installments of your choice or by one-time giving. Designate the funds for the Capital Campaign. You may give via Church center, cash, or check. Our goal is to have the gifts for the More Ministry and Less Debt campaign by October 26, 2025.
You can PLEDGE your IMMEASUARNBLY MORE gift at church or HERE.
If you have questions, comments or concerns, you can reach out to the Campaign Co-Chair's, Don Lalim and Lelia Redin!
Make your weekly giving a breeze by registering for automatic recurring giving. Chose from weekly, every other week, monthly, and twice monthly. Click herefor instructions on how to set up.
Today we follow Christ from triumphal entry to the cross, each waypoint of the journey marked by Jesus’ compassion for those who would betray, mock, accuse or do violence to him. Though persecuted and beaten, Jesus the Son of God is not disgraced; instead, he asks forgiveness for those who put him to death. We enter this holy weel\k accompanying Jesus to the cross with both grief and thanksgiving in our hearts, trusting in God’s redeeming love.
We need you! The annual Grand Canyon Synod Assembly will be held in Las Vegas this summer. Crossroads Lutheran Church can send two representatives to this Assembly! For more information on the Assembly, click here. Contact Pastor Kaila or a member of the Board with questions or if you are interested in attending!

WHAT IS THE BIBLE YEAR?
The goal is to read the whole Bible in a year, but think about it in terms of smaller, daily goals. Think about a commitment to read a short selection from the Bible plus a concise devotional every day. You can do that – especially since The Bible Year has it all mapped out for you day by day.
Plus, you’ll also get summaries of key themes and ideas to help you better digest and understand your readings. So you’re not just reading verse after verse, you’re enriching your spiritual life, developing a deeper faith and We will be having small groups to discuss The Bible Year so we will be growing a closer connection to God and to each other.
Sign up at church, the Station or here. Next meeting is Sunday, April 13 after Service!
