"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." – Mark 12:29-31

C.O.R.E. 2008 – Church Out-Reaching Extravaganza – On the weekend of June 28-29, The Crossover will join with five other churches in Coles County to make an impact on our community. Instead of meeting together to worship, we will spend the weekend, including Sunday morning, doing service projects.

Ways To Participate

1. Join our prayer walk through the community on an evening to be announced.

2. Take a donation tag and purchase the listed item.

3. Sign up to give blood at East Harrison Street Church in Charleston on June 21 from 9AM-1PM or at Marshall Avenue Christian Church in Mattoon on June 24 from 2-6PM.

4. Register to participate in a few projects on the CORE Weekend (June 28-29). Remember, we will not have a worship service that Sunday morning. The church will be in the community!

5. Buy a T-Shirt for $10 to show our unity.

6. Join all the churches for a worship service in Charleston on Sunday evening of June 29th.

Chris McRoberts Graduates Mattoon High School



Chris McRoberts is our Crossover senior this year. We honored Chris with a photo show of his ENTIRE LIFE! And we gave him what looked to us like a lifetime supply of sugar (Mt Dew, Mike & Ikes, ...) and what to him might have been a day's supply.

We are very proud of Chris and wish him the best at college next summer in Wisconsin!
