On Sunday, July 5th, Crossgate will be hosting a Lemonade Love Stand for The CALL to benefit children and youth in foster care in Garland & Hot Springs Counties.
So before you take off for the lake, or an early lunch, we invite you to stop by our tables, located near our front entrance, pick out a baked treat, grab a lemonade and donate what you can! In addition to cash and check, you can donate today by texting “lemonadeloveghs” to 41444.
So make plans to stop by following the 9:00 am service to enjoy a fresh glass of lemonade and some yummy treats - all for a great cause!

We are running short on shoes!! 🏃 👟

If your church, lifegroup, Bible study group, etc would like to do a drive for children in foster care we could really use new sneakers to help get kids ready for back to school.

We are running especially low on boys and girls kid sizes 10 - 13.

This week’s Wednesday’s Child is a face that may be familiar. We first featured Kaitlyn a couple of years ago. Today, she is still waiting for her forever family.
