Each of us is unique, right? On Tuesday eve, Feb 2^nd, Carol Cartmill will lead a Round Table designed to help every one of us “BE A DIFFERENCE MAKER!”

That’s right! She will help each of the participants identify the skills, talents, resources, interests, desires, and experiences that make you unique. And then she’ll help you determine how you can use your unique talents and passions to make a positive difference in your community.

For some of us, our community is our family. For others, it is our immediate neighborhood or city. Maybe for you, community includes the whole wide world! Either way, join us for this Round Table to make a wonderful difference in life!

Retirement often begins with the fun new sensation of being able to use your time however you want. But, if you are like many of us, you will eventually find yourself wanting more. More adventure. More meaning. More significance in life.

On Tuesday evening April 6^th, Dr. Mindi McKenna will lead our Round Table on “SETTING BIG DREAMS AND ACHIEVING THEM IN RETIREMENT.”

She’ll guide us through a 7-step framework developed by popular speaker, Bob Goff, author of “Love Does,” “Everybody Always,” and “Dream Big.”

She’ll share tips for identifying our big dreams, acting on them, clearing distractions, overcoming obstacles, and yes, achieving results.

Some of us have plenty of financial resources during retirement; others are on a really tight budget. Either way, all of us can leave a lasting legacy by investing of ourselves to help others.

It’s a well-known fact that sharing of one’s time, talent, or treasure is one of the most reliable ways to experience a stronger sense of purpose, fulfillment and joy. That’s why we’ll end our 2020-2021 Crossroads Round Table series with a powerful discussion about “LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY BY ESTATE PLANNING” led by Debi Nixon and the Resurrection Foundation.

Crossroads Ministry and Building Better Grandparents team up for some much-needed fun! Who will earn bragging rights as the trivia queen or king of Church of the Resurrection? Hosted on Zoom, this Christmas themed trivia night is sure to be a memory maker filled with laughter, intellect, and new friends.

After completing Binder for Life and planning your memorial service or funeral in Having the Last Word, the final step of leaving a legacy is writing your spiritual autobiography. In this class, you will have the opportunity to consider the events of your past and present, so that generations who come after you will see God alive in your story. Participants will share pieces of their story with class members which will have the added benefit of building community through sharing our faith with others.

Note: It is not necessary for you to have completed Binder for Life and Having the Last Word prior to participating in Everybody Has a Story.

Declutter & Simplify is heading your way. The class will take place January 5 - 26on Zoom. This 4-session study will give you the tools, encouragement, and accountability needed to declutter your home and simplify your life. Join Brogan Farren and Scott Weaver in considering what a life of simplicity looks like and why God calls us to simple lives.

Class meets from 6:30 – 8:30 pm on Zoom. Space is limited!
