All Saints Day
On Sunday, November 5th during the 8:45am and 11:00am worship services, we will have our annual All Saints Day service. This is a worship service dedicated to the memory of our members who have passed away in the last year. Those we are honoring are Bea Hester, Jack Dickerson, Natalie Oliver, Ann Guest, and Randy Ashton. To honor each of their families, the names of our deceased church members will be read and each family will receive a special gift. You will also have the opportunity to lift up the names of those people special to you who have passed away. Please join us for this meaningful time of worship.
Marriage Enrichment
The Marriage Enrichment Group will meet on Wednesday, November 8th from 5:30pm-6:45pm. A light dinner will be served. We will spend time with our partner sharing our desired plan for the holidays and and expectations. Although festive, holidays can also cause both small and large irritations as we seek to please everyone and create memories. Be proactive against holiday strife and discuss what you want out of this season that is quickly approaching. If you know of another couple that is interested in this group, invite them! This group is open to all, not just Crossroads UMC members. If you have any questions, please contact Leigh Martin at leighsmartin@gmail.com

This is the meeting where we vote on pastoral salary, recommend candidates for ministry and elect leadership for the upcoming year in the church. All members of the church are invited to attend. Rev. Dr. Quincy Brown will be presiding. Hope you can come! We should be done by 2:00pm.
