Welcome to Crossroads United Methodist Church

We know it can be a little scary the first time you visit someplace new,  especially a church, so we want to make it as easy for you as possible.  So, to help make this time as comfortable for you as possible here's  some "helps." We have two parking lots at Crossroads, both of which you  enter off of Hague Avenue. The north lot is closer to the sanctuary, and  has designated VISITOR parking spots adjacent to the main entrance, but  you can get there from the south lot as well. Restrooms are located in  the main hallway off the sanctuary, as well as near the Fellowship Hall  and Kitchen at the other end of the building. Greeters will give you a  copy of the worship folder (you can't tell the players without a  scorecard!) and ushers will help you find a comfortable seat in the  sanctuary. Worship begins at 10:30 am and usually lasts about 75  minutes. 

Worship at Crossroads is pretty casual, as is the dresscode. There  are hymnals in the rows if you like to read music, but all the words are  generally on the screen as well. We share in common readings or  liturgy, prayers and singing, and have a Children's Moment with a  special lesson for the kids before they are released for Sunday School.  While kids are welcome in worship, children under the age of 4 are also  welcomed in our supervised nursery, and children age 5 and up are  invited  to our Sunday School program, just down the hall from the  sanctuary, where they will engage in lessons, crafts, games that are  more suitable for their age than the worship service.   The pastor's messages are usually tied to a theme with practical  application points as well as challenges to how to grow in your faith -  at Crossroads we don't tell you WHAT to think about the faith, we help  you discern HOW to think about YOUR faith. There's a "Notes" page in the  worship folder for your use during the message. Announcements and a  calendar of upcoming events in the life of the church can also be found  there. Usually near the end of the worship gathering we will respond to  God's love for us as shared in the Scripture, prayer, music and  teachings by giving our gifts, tithes and offerings to support the  ministries of the church. As a first time visitor, we invite  you to not  feel like you need to make an offering - your presence is a gift to us.  We just hope that you'll appreciate and enjoy what you experience here  and will want to return!
