Recent mass shootings in California have been among 40 others that have occurred already this year, resulting in at least 73 deaths total. As a church, we are heartbroken and devastated by this fact. We pray for those who have been affected by these mass shootings and mourn for those taken too soon. Let us seek ways to actively support those who have lost loved ones, and as always, let us continue to pray for peace and healing.

Our relationship with God is an active one. On Sunday, Joelle talked about what it looks like to take ownership of our thoughts and tackle the war in our minds. We learned about neural pathways, how to recognize ruts of thinking, and how to partner with God to create new trenches based in truth. If you missed it, you can hop on over to our YouTube to find the full message.
Winter White Out is an overnight retreat held at Trout Lake Camps in Pine River, MN. This weekend is designed to help students grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus while building community, having fun playing games, and being a part of incredible services. Register at Crossroads.co/events.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
Today we remember Martin Luther King Jr. His work made waves that will be felt for generations to come. May we continue in his footsteps as we aim to be the light of Christ.
Waging a war for our minds can be a daunting task, but here we break down an accessible way to start by identifying our toxic thoughts.
The first step to winning the war in our minds is to admit that we don't have the power to do it, but God does. Check out Jonathan's message on our YouTube channel, and be sure to tune in this Sunday as Joelle takes on week 2 of Winning the War in Your Mind.
There are self-help books everywhere, but Kids have some of the best advice.
