| A LOOK INSIDE....CrossRoads is Westwood's ministry program for 5th and 6th grade students. On Sundays, we get together to talk openly and honestly about what it means to follow Christ in this world. Through relationships, the CrossRoads Staff encourage students to seek Jesus Christ and to dedicate their lives to Him. Through learning, sharing, and having fun we end up exploring an adventure that is far more thrilling than we could ever imagine! Our weekly programming consists of fun interactive games, worshiping God together, listening to honest talks, and asking questions in small groups. CrossRoads also has monthly events like, Photo Scavenger Hunts, Water park Retreats, Hayrides, and Service Projects for students and staff to be able to connect with each other. At CrossRoads we are all about learning more, having fun, and Deepening our faith! If you have any questions about our program, feel free to give me a buzz. We hope you come and check us out! |

Crossroads is heading back to Ignite for its third year and we'll continue to build on and expand the traditions we've set in the first two years! Ignite is our summer camp experience where we spend a couple of days doing our own camp programming just for our students. We'll be hanging out on the beach, playing games in the field, hunting for leaders on the trails through the woods and enjoying some time in front of the good old camp fire. Students will build strong relationships with leaders as we focus on knowing God more through our time together. This is an awesome opportunity fir students to have fun while meeting leaders, making new friends and building momentum into the coming school year.
