Sometimes the days feel heavy, and peace and joy seem just out of reach. As we navigate the ever-changing waves of life and try to process the hurt around us, our hearts can grow weary and worn.

In the midst of it all, I invite you to pause—just for a moment. Create space to breathe, to realign your heart, and to draw near to the Holy Spirit. From that wellspring, your heart can be refilled with the peace and joy that God gives.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in God, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
— Romans 15:13

As you reflect, I encourage you to listen to these two songs:

“I’ve Got Joy” by CeCe Winans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ2vBAw_1uY&list=RDDQ2vBAw_1uY&start_radio=1

“Still / Peace” by Hillsong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f6YJp_wqvE

Let the lyrics and melodies remind you of God’s nearness—and the hope that remains, even when life feels uncertain.

-Zac

Sunday was the third week of our Reel Reflections series, where we explored how the Bible’s call to care for creation connects with the themes of Moana. We also loved having our summer camp students join us to sing “Joy” filling the room with their energy and smiles. During the service, we took time to sing a blessing over Susan Yantis, our longtime worship director, and Zac Kim, our new worship director. We are so grateful for Susan’s incredible impact on our community and are thankful she will continue to serve and share her gifts with us as a volunteer.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in person or online on Sunday. We are especially grateful for our wonderful volunteers whose time and care help make Crossroads a welcoming and meaningful place for all.

Today we wrapped up our Waves of Wonder Summer Camp, and what an incredible week it has been at Crossroads. Our building was filled with laughter, joy, and the energy of campers discovering new friendships, learning about God’s love, and creating memories that will last all summer. From music and games to crafts and water fun, it was a week full of moments that reminded us how much wonder and light our kids bring into the world.
We are so grateful for the amazing volunteers and staff who made this week possible with their time, creativity, and care for each child.
We are already looking forward to our next themed camp happening July 14-18. For details and registration, visit crossroadsnova.org/summer-camps

It has been a joyful week at Crossroads with Summer Camp in full swing, filling the building with laughter, energy, and the dedication of our amazing volunteers.
This Sunday at 9 and 11am, we will celebrate with a camp song from the kids, share a special camp video, and continue our Reel Reflections series as we explore the movie Moana and what it teaches us about caring for the earth.
After the 11am service, come out to Lost Rhino for Pints with the Pastor, a relaxed time to connect and get to know others in our community.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday at 9 or 11am. If you cannot join us in person, you can be part of worship online on our website or Facebook.
