July 19 church-family update · Matthew 9:35–38
Astonished by God
Sean walked our church family through the clarity that will shape what comes next—how we pursue Jesus, make disciples, and seek God’s Kingdom together. Rooted in Matthew 9:35–38, this message calls us to see people as Jesus does and live as everyday disciples, with compassion at the center.

A New Cross for Crossroads
A familiar sign of hope
Weather and time took their toll on the former wooden cross. These photos trace the work now underway—from the damage that prompted a replacement, to the new metal cross being fabricated, to an up-close look at the old cross. We’re grateful for the people carrying this work forward and for this visible reminder of the hope we proclaim.
