Our Celtic Services return!
We will be gathering on the Fourth Sunday of the month at 6pm for an evening service of prayer, song, candlelight, and Eucharist in the Celtic tradition.
This is a great opportunity to bring friends and neighbors yearning for a time to slow down, ground ourselves, and be in the peace of the presence of God as we navigate the ups and downs of life.
Let us break bread together and dip it in soup!
Lent invites us into a spiritual journey, drawing closer to God and one another. We will gather for food and fellowship followed by community conversations.
We'll gather in the Parish Hall at 5:30pm with program starting at 6pm.
We could really use volunteers!
Soup makers, set up folks, and clean up folks. If you're able to help, please reach out to Pastor Gerardo!
Meditations on the
Stations of the Cross
Thursdays in Lent
10:00 AM
Join us on for a time of contemplative prayer with special meditations on the Stations of the Cross--the last few hours of Jesus' earthly life. This ancient Christian practice invites us to reflect on themes of suffering, grief, loss, betrayal, and the ways God walks these parts of our journeys in life.
To make the service more accessible, we will be gathering both in person and on Zoom. To join the Zoom, click this link.

This meeting will focus on making small creative lap quilts that “ the Alzheimer’s Association “ will distribute to many clients to fidget with. These

All supplies will be provided and all are welcome to stop by and share coffee and conversation even if they don’t see.
PS- save old key chains , keys and ribbons and pass on to me please.

Soup Kitchen
May 24th
8:00 am - 1:30 pm
We will prepare and serve 400–500 meals to our neighbors in Detroit who are experiencing food insecurity. It is a powerful and humbling opportunity to put our faith into action and make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
Serving at Crossroads is a meaningful and hands-on ministry, and it is also a wonderful way to connect with fellow parishioners while giving back to our broader community
