Being the presence of Jesus to ...

Our Mission statement at JRC is "Being the presence of Jesus to each other, the community and the world." This week in Crossroads we talked about being two of these areas.

Each Other
As youth we can serve each other at church in many ways. Youth of JRC help in the nursery, children's church, VBS, and even in worship during the service.  Amy, our worship coordinator came and talked about including the youth in our service on Sunday mornings.  We welcome the youth to get involved, just let a leader know and we will plug them in by singing, playing an instrument, or helping with projection on Sunday mornings.

The World
We also worked on preparing for our big project of Operation Christmas Child. Crossroads has worked with the Outreach Team to be the presence of Jesus to the children of the world by filling shoeboxes for kids all over the globe. This year the kids picked  goal of 135 boxes. With the help of the congregation we think we can meet that goal.
