Team Update - April 22, 2019

4/22/2019

 
This week’s team update is a guest post by Chris Williams, one of the Assistant District Superintendents in the Crossroads District.

Celebrating the Resurrection

Yesterday, Christians all over the world celebrated Easter, the victory of God over the evil one. As Christ-followers, we celebrate the resurrection because it is the day when death, hell, and the grave were defeated and victory was made possible for us through Jesus Christ.

Some of our Crossroads District churches have been reporting on what God did yesterday as their congregation celebrated the resurrection and lifted up the person of Jesus. Here are a few of the reports we’ve received in the district office:
​
  • Tipton Trinity launched their Kokomo campus yesterday. The Trinity team has been busy the last few months renovating the Kokomo facility and they were excited to welcome 98 people to the first service in the new space. Across the two campuses, they had 433 in attendance, baptized 6, and had 18 decisions for Christ.
  • The River, with campuses in Marion and Chesterton, had over 1,000 in attendance and celebrated decisions for Christ on both campuses.

  • New Carlisle’s attendance was approaching 300 this weekend and had 6 commitments of faith.
    ​
  • RE.THINK Church in Merrillville had 85 in attendance with 4 people stepping across the line of faith. Their volunteer team (pictured below) spent focused time in prayer on Sunday morning before they welcomed the congregation into the worship center.

  • Brinker Heights in Marion had 7 people make commitments to Christ.
    ​
  • Eastview, with campuses in Gas City and Jonesboro, had 475 in attendance with 6 new professions of faith. Eastview is celebrating 19 people coming to faith during the month of April!

​We’d love to hear updates about what happened at your church as you lifted up Christ on Easter Sunday. Send your celebration stories to [email protected].  

End of the Fiscal Year Approaching

As a reminder, the end of the fiscal year for Crossroads District churches is April 30, 2019. All year-end reports are due by May 15, 2019. CSF payments for the 2018-2019 fiscal must be received by May 10, 2019, in order to be recorded for the current fiscal year. All payments received after May 10 will be recorded for the next fiscal year.

If you have questions or if you need assistance with year-end reports, please contact Roxene Lo in the district office ([email protected] or 765.674.8593).

Thanks in advance for your prompt attention and timely submission of your reports!

Continue to Pray for Ministers Recovering from Surgery

Rev. Tim McClellan, the senior pastor at Lakeview Church in Marion, had surgery last week to remove cancer. He is still in the hospital recovering from surgery and waiting to learn the next steps of his treatment plan. Please continue to lift up Pastor Tim, Cynthia, and the Lakeview congregation during this time.

Rev. Chuck McCallum, a retired minister in the Crossroads District and former pastor of Westview Wesleyan Church in Jonesboro, had surgery on Saturday to correct a 90% blockage they found in his carotid artery. The surgery was successful and Rev. McCallum is likely to be released from the hospital early this week. Your continued prayers are appreciated.
