Yellow. Cards. And. You. Fill. Them. Out. Please!

At just about every worship service at Crossroads we will call attention to a very simple piece of cardstock … the multi-purpose Crossroads communication card, commonly known as the “Yellow Card” … which is inside the weekly copy of Crossroads Today. We ask everyone in attendance to complete a card weekly (actually, you only need to fill in your name if nothing has changed). And we promise, your information is collected for our use only.

Why is this card so helpful to us? Let me count some of the ways:

1. It lets our ministry teams know you were here! And that is important to us on so many levels. With over 2000 people attending CBC we just are not always able to notice who might be sitting in worship. And worship is important to us.
2. It helps us capture address changes and other information. And we seem to have lots of address and information changes!
3. It is a means of requesting information about CBC membership, baptism or various ministry programs.
4. It is a means of communicating to the staff team. We may be in the e-age and we certainly get our share of comments and questions via email but there are a surprising number of people who still like to communicate using a writing implement. And we read every card, passing them on to the most appropriate ministry team.
5. We also encourage you to jot down anything you would like our ministry teams to be praying about. Every request received is actually prayed for by a prayer team each Sunday morning before the services are over! We also distribute the prayer requests to the staff and elders every week.

So … help us serve you … don’t be afraid … complete the yellow card every week.

 

Connect

Jerry Mitchell writes that it is his intent that at CBC “we will connect every member in vital community as we assemble together in large and small group settings”. 

At the most basic that means:  

• We want everyone to be connected to Christ. People need salvation!
• We want people to be connected to Crossroads Bible Church. Membership is important to us.
• We want every member to be connected to one another to such a degree that they can meaningfully practice the “one anothers” of the New Testament.

 Connection is also foundational to equipping, serving, and our mission. We have several ministries that facilitate connecting at Crossroads, and we are committed to developing effective and meaningful places to connect.
