We start a new sermon series this Sundaycalled "Ancient Paths," which takes us back to the Scripture from which Crossroads derives her name (Jeremiah 6:16). As we look to the future of CLC it's important to simultaneously look backward and ask, "What are the ancient paths that the LORD tells us to look for, ask for, and walk in?" Once again we are at a Crossroads in the life of the church and it's time to get back to basics and God's Word has much to tell us. This sermon series will be incredibly important as we rally around the mission of Jesus for the world. Don't miss it.

All: Pastor Ryan has been working hard on possibly re-branding Crossroads with a new, fresh logo! The Board is looking for your feedback!
Option 1: A modern take on Luther's Seal. Graphically appealing for a wide audience, however recognizable by Lutherans while providing a Gospel teaching tool, as Luther intended.
Option 2: Sleek and simple and utilizes a crossroads cross symbol. Per Pastor Ryan's extensive logo research, a number of churches in the Valley use this red, white and black them effectively.
We are asking all of you to please review and let us know your thoughts! Do you like one more than another? And why! Please email admin@iamcrossroads.org with your feedback!
Sunday, October 26 will be a big day for Crossroads Lutheran Church! We will not be having Worship Service at 9:15 am that morning!

The Chosen is a historical drama television series about the life and ministry of Jesus, primarily set in Judea and Galilee in the first century. The series depicts Jesus's life through the eyes of the people who interacted with him, including the apostles and disciples of Jesus, Jewish religious leaders, Roman government and military officials, and ordinary people. The series currently consists of five seasons, with seven seasons being planned. Along with the show, there is a Bible companion study for each season.
Who is this for? Anyone who has or hasn't watched the series. Invite your neighbors and friends!
