Thank you to all our volunteers who made this worship season so wonderful! In order to give these special teams a much deserved break, we cancel all Sunday night activities for the months of May, June, July, and August. This also allows us to shift our focus and resources into our Summer youth program.

We eagerly look forward to our community worship time beginning in September again. If you can’t wait until September, join us for our staff and volunteer prayer and worship times on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 10:30am to 11:00am before we open the food pantry and clothing store.

Thank you to Quail Springs Church of Christ for choosing us as their Sharefest site again this year. As our four-unit apartment nears completion, the group came to apply some good ol’ cleaning inside and out . We’re talking major cleaning, as you can see from the pictures! Thank you to all who gave up a Saturday to do what would have taken us weeks.

Thank you to all the contractors who offered their expertise, our generous donors that purchased the property, the Butterfield Foundation grants, all the countless volunteer hours, and especially Rob for heading the giant task of completion. We will be posting final walk through pictures very soon!

We had a lot of fun today handing out 400 food boxes. The most important thing handed out today was a smile, hug, and prayer. More pictures to come! A big thank you to Feed The Children.

On Tuesday, April 12th at 9:00 am we (and hopefully you) at Cross & Crown Mission will be distributing boxes of food and personal care items to 400 families. We are excited about this opportunity to team up with Feed the Children in a program called, “Americans Feeding Americans.” Click Here

We are in great need of volunteers for this event and are looking to get anywhere from 50-75 individuals to commit their time and energy.

Here is a list of a few other things that we are looking to get our hands on for this 3-4 hour event…

* t-shirts! Because this event will involve several hundred individuals we would like to be able to identify those who are helping. So, we figured either everyone that is helping should wear the same shirt or everyone helping wear no shirt. Shirts won.

* pallet jack & fork lift. Pretty self explanatory. There will be a bunch of food on pallets and so we need something to lift and move the pallets. We don’t have one. We want one. Do you have one?

*YOU! Again, we need 50-75 bodies to make this thing happen. On any given day at Cross & Crown we have somewhere between 15-20 volunteers. We need more than double this amount in order to make this thing happen.

We are, also, very excited about this event because it will take place in the parking lot of our newly acquired building at 1900 NW10th, the old Whittier school building. We are excited about this opportunity to meet and begin relationship with many new families in the neighborhood.

If you are interested in being apart of this effort in any form whether it be t-shirts, materials or your services please call 232-7696 and leave a message for Paul.

We are excited to see our sign go up at the Whittier school on NW 10th and McKinley. This school building not only increases our space, but it strengthens our influence in the neighborhood.

Please pray that God would use this opportunity to further His Kingdom.

We need 50 volunteers on Tuesday, April 12th at 9:00 am to help us distribute food to 400 families. We are partnering with Feed The Children and the Americans Feeding Americans program.

The event will be outside in the parking lot of our new Whittier school building. Please RSVP to 232-7696, leave Paul a message. This will be an event you won’t want to miss!

We also are in need of a pallet jack and forklift for the event. Please let us know how you would like to participate.
