 Christmas HampersThis year, Crossroads will be distributing gift cards instead of food hampers as a part of the city-wide Salvation Army Christmas Hamper Campaign. 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 
Book Club @ Crossroads Next meeting: Tuesday Jan 20, 2025 @2:00pm in the Friendship Room at Crossroads This month: "The Diamond Eye" by Kate Quinn, is based on the true story of Ukrainian Mila Pavlichenko. 
Winter Coat & Sweater DriveThe Outreach Team would like to thank the volunteers and donors who helped distribute clothes and grocery cards this month. Thanks to your generosity, we didn't have to turn anyone away.  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.
