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. Our first goal is to raise $30,000 in six months while our stretch goal is $40,000. 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 20, 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.

MEET GOD JOIN US ON YOUTUBE LIVE FOR SUNDAY SERVICE On Maundy Thursday our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the THREE DAYS of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Tonight we remember Christ’s last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we live out the promise embodied in this meal.  As Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, so we are called to give and receive the love in humble service to one another.    SCRIPTURE Exodus 12:1-4, (5-10) 11-14 Psalm 116:1-4, 12-19 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 John 13:1-17, 31b-35 MUSIC Goodness Of God Gethsemane Will You Let Me Be Your Servant Life and Death stand side by side as we enter into Good Friday. Standing with the disciples at the foot of the cross, we pray for the whole world, as Christ’s death offers life to all. We gather in solemn devotion, but always with the promise that the tree around which we assemble is indeed a tree of life. SCRIPTURE Isaiah 52:13-53:12 Psalm 22 Hebrews 10:16-25 John 18:1-19:42 MUSIC Old Rugged Cross CHRIST IS RISEN, and we gather together with astonishment and joy.  CHRIST IS RISEN, and we have been set free from the bonds of death.  CHRIST IS RISEN, and we are forgiven. CHRIST IS RISEN, and with the women at the tomb and Peter, we are amazed.  LET US REJOICE! Come join us for Worship on Sunday at 5:45am at The Station Coffee Co or 9:15am at Crossroads Lutheran Church!  CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!

MEET FRIENDS 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.  May dates coming soon!
