Christmas Hampers

This December, COVID restrictions have meant that Crossroads will be distributing gift cards instead of food hampers as a part of the city-wide Salvation Army Christmas Hamper Campaign. This year our goal is to raise $2000 for the program.
Consider contributing to this program that benefits the less fortunate. You can add your donation to your regular Sunday offering (indicate "Christmas hampers" on the envelope), or drop it off at the church office, or e-transfer to donations@crossroadsunited.ca
Winter Coat & Sweater Drive

The Outreach Team will again be collecting warm coats and sweaters for distribution on December 17, 2025. Help give a little warmth this winter to someone in need.
Memorial Poinsettias

Consider donating a memorial poinsettia in memory of a loved one to help decorate our sanctuary this advent season. A list of all memorials will be posted in the announcement slides during services on Dec. 21 and Dec. 24. Special donation envelopes are available in the church narthex (or by E-transfer to donations@crossroadsunited.ca). Remember to include the name(s) to be honoured.

Crossroads Village

Correction Notice: Crossroads United Church would like to correct information contained in a September 27 article in the Kingston Whig Standard regarding the Crossroads Village project with Our Livable Solutions. The article stated that a lease with the church was not finalized. However, a lease between Crossroads United and OLS was signed Aug. 21 and then ratified by the Eastern Central Ontario Regional Council of the United Church of Canada on Sept. 3, 2024. The lease has been in effect since then.
Current Status: However, the project is currently on hold due to a funding issue involving the ability of OLS to cover staffing costs. Until OLS can resolve this issue, transferring the cabins and common module construction are unable to proceed, since staffing is a critical component of the plan. We are now waiting to hear what further steps can be taken in order to make our dream into a reality.

Background: At a meeting in early June 2024, the Crossroads congregation voted to begin negotiations to lease a portion of its unpaved back lot to Our Livable Solutions to be used to situate up to 18 cabins. A service module with kitchen, laundry and washroom facilities would be included to form a community called "Crossroads Village". The lease would run for up to 10 years, giving some stability to the project which so far has had to move twice every year.

About the season: Advent
When: Starts Nov. 30 in 2025 (four Sundays before Christmas) and runs until Christmas Day.
Colour: BLUE
Meaning: "Advent" means "coming" as we await the coming of Jesus (the Word made flesh) into the world at Christmas.
Symbols: Hope and waiting are the themes of this season. Each Sunday a different candle is lit, corresponding to hope, peace, joy and love. Sometimes purple (the colour of royalty, but also of asking forgiveness) is used for each candle; recently, blue (representing Mary, who waits with us for her baby's arrival) has become more common. The third Sunday uses a different colour - pink, representing joy. On Christmas eve, we light the Christ candle (white).
