crosswalk youth ministry

That’s right. You heard it here first. We’re having a Superbowl party this Sunday evening, February 2. We’ll start at our normal Sunday night schedule time - 5:00 p.m. And we’ll go until the game is over. If you’ve ever wanted to watch the Superbowl on a 200” screen, then come hang out with us this Sunday night, eat some great Superbowl food, and watch what is sure to be one of the greatest Superbowl games ever!

Whew! Sorry for the delay on posting for this week. I’m just now recovered from the AWESOME weekend we had in Springfield, MO at W.O.W. 2008. If you’ve got pictures from the weekend - send ‘em - and we can share. And as soon as I figure out how to post pics on this blog (I’m used to another blogger format), I’ll get those up. If you’ve got some experiences that you want to share, just leave a comment below.
