Have You Plugged into the Fall Walks?

E The Fall Walks are upon us! Women’s Walk: September 25-28; Men’s Walk: October 9-12. We trust that God will again do great things at Crossroads! No one will want to miss being a part of God’s work in the lives our Pilgrims! If you haven’t volunteered yet, please consider joining us in one of the following area:

M Agape Provide a tangible example of God’s love for our pilgrims by giving Agape! We need 50 pieces for the women and 30 pieces for the men. Agape should be brought to camp at the Gathering or Thursday of the Walk. Bring it in a large Ziploc bag or box, labeled with the donor’s name and whether it is

dinner or pillow Agape. For more information contact Jan M Seaman at [email protected] or 740.678.2681.

Song Leaders Needed! I am in need of song leaders for the closing of both the women’s and men’s walks, Sept. 28th, at 4pm and/or Oct. 12th, at 4pm. This entails leading everyone from our song book, while people are gathering, and then to start the singing during communion. You don’t have to be able to play an instrument, although that is always nice, acapella will do just fine. I am also in need of “entertainment” and song leading, during our annual Christmas dinner. If you like to do story telling, skits, sing, juggle, or stand on your head, give me a call. Our dinner is always held at Wayside Methodist Church in Vienna , so there is plenty of room for you or your band. (If that little voice is telling you to give me a call, that’s the Holy Spirit. My number is 740-376-0446. Thank you so much, and De Colores, Holly Poulson Mark Your Calendars! 9/23 – Gathering, 7 pm 9/25-28 - Women's Walk #34 9/27 - 8:30 pm – Candlelight 9/28 - 4:30 pm – Closing 10/9-12 - Men's Walk #34 10/11 - 8:30 pm – Candlelight 10/12 - 4:30 pm – Closing 10/28 - Gathering – 7 pm 12/5 - 6:30 pm - Family Christmas Dinner @ Wayside UMC
