Attention!  Save the Date for this very important Special Congregational Meeting!  After much work by the Call Committee and the Church Board, a Pastoral Candidate, Pastor Ryan Marsh, will be voted on to receive the call to Crossroads as our next Pastor!  Per our constitution, "Authority to call a pastor shall be in this congregation by at least a two-thirds vote of voting members present and voting at a meeting legally called for that purpose."  Also, per the constitution, "Ten (10%) percent of the voting disciples shall constitute a quorum".  Don't miss this exciting meeting for Crossroads Lutheran Church!  Zoom will be available for attending and voting!  Please remember, you must be a Disciple to be able to vote.  Interested in becoming a Disciple, please see information below!

Pastor Ryan Marsh received his Master’s in Divinity in 2016 from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology.  He is an ordained ELCA minister, and has spent the past 20 years in ministry boldly proclaiming the good news of the crucified Savior and risen Lord.  He trusts the Holy Spirit to speak to each of us in the crossroads of our lives and transform us for God’s glory.  His goals are as follows:
  • Love each other deeply
  • Worship wholeheartedly
  • Pray unceasingly
  • Stand solidly on the Word
  • Courageously share Christ’s faith with others
 
It’s in these “ancient paths”, this Mission of Jesus that disciples are made and the Church grows in vitality and numbers.

Come join us for worship as we learn about the new commandment Jesus gave to his disciples:  Love one another.  Pastor Kate Adelman will be preaching this Sunday.

Jesus gave the disciples a new command.  Love one another.  As I have loved

You,so you must love one another.  Jesus Love.  What does that look like?
