CONNECTIONS

BAPTISM: Due to timing issues, we have postponed this event.

MEET OUR MISSIONARIES TO HAITI: On Monday, August 20th @ 6:30PM, Steve and Jolene Moore will be in Mattoon at The Crossover. Steve and Jolene have been missionaries in Haiti for over ten years, and now work for New Life for Haiti, our organization. They will be hosting our trips and coordinating our work effort. They are a gracious and interesting couple. Please mark your calendars and come meet them.

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY: Thursday, August 23, Marlyn Finley will have an orientation meeting for this fantastic 13 week class on how to get your personal finances under control.

DINNER @ BRIAN AND DANELLE’S HOUSE: If you haven’t signed up yet, sign up for dinner at the Millers for Saturday, August 25 (Pork Chops).

HAITI MISSION TRIP: The first work team will start building the school in Marfranc, the Haitian village that has become the center of our focus-area September 23-October 1. The second team will work November 11-19. Team members will meet in Miami that Sunday evening, then fly into Haiti on Monday (and back home on the following Monday). You need a passport, which can a couple of months to get, and you need some vaccinations. Application can be made online at www.newlifeforhaiti.org.

PRAYER OPPORTUNITIES

The Crossover is gaining momentum. God has stirred something up. People are visiting. People are getting involved. Pray the momentum will only build. Pray for healing in the sore areas. Pray for people to take a step with Jesus. Look for people you can love and accept. Give them a call. Send them a note. God is speaking to you as well during prayer. God may bring a ministry to your mind. Make yourself available to this ministry.

Starting in September, we will begin a wonderful time of focus as we begin 70 Days of Vision - a new way to look at life. Pray that God will use this time to establish The Crossover as a vital, healthy church.
