WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS To allow a greater opportunity for discipleship, relationship building, and outreach, we’re doing our VBS on Wednesday Nights this summer with a twist. For the nine weeks of summer we’re alternating our Wednesday Night fun between special elementary programming - MOVE, and some big, fun, family events. Our outreach lies within your reach – so make sure to invite your neighbors, friends, and family to take part in Wonderful Wednesdays this summer!

Elementary MOVE – 6:30-8:30pm Wednesday, June 3, 17; July 1, 15, 29 Current K-6th Graders will be on the MOVE here at CCC as we encounter people from the Bible who were deeply MOVED and changed by their encounter with Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that they, too, will take that next step and MOVE closer to Jesus. Parenting Events will be offered on most Wednesday nights at the same time to allow you to build community, and we are excited for our youth to partner and serve with our kids on Wednesdays, too!

Contact Katy for more opportunities to join the MOVEment.

Family Fun Night – Wednesday, June 10, 24; July 8, 22 Be sure to check our summer calendar for more information on each of these events, but the WHOLE CHURCH FAMILY is welcome. Whether young or young at heart, these events are designed to bring out the kid within you. There will be kickball, ice cream, movies, water wars AND more!

************************************************************************************************** Preschoolers, Playgrounds, & Popsicles – Fridays from 10-noon starting June 5 Parents and kids are welcome to join us for some SWEET fellowship here on our playground at Crossroads each Friday. Pull up a swing, get to know some preschool families, and enjoy the sun! Mrs. Katy will provide the popsicles, and weather permitting; we’ll all have a great time! We even scheduled this event before lunch time on purpose, so if you want to keep the fun going, feel free to invite some new friends out to lunch! If it’s looking stormy, check our Crossroads Kids Facebook page for any last minute updates at https://www.facebook.com/crossroadsgraykids. ***********************************************************************************************
