You can share how God has worked in your life this past semester, something you learned this semester, prayer requests, praises...anything you would like your brothers and sisters to know. Leaders and officers can share about the up's and down's of their ministries this semester or anything related to what you've been doing for God this semester, if you'd like. If you'd like to share, please contact Josh Lin, jnlin85@ufl.edu, so we can know if there's at least a few people who'd like to share so we don't just do nothing on friday. =)

*** ELECTIONS ***

Already?!?! =) Actually, this is just to remind all of us that since Crossroads is member-led, we need to always be praying and thinking about what are our gifts from God so that we can best serve Him. Crossroads is just a fellowship where you can practice your gifts and serve God and your brothers and sisters with it. With that in mind, please think about officer roles (president, external vp, internal vp, secretary, treasurer, historian, webmaster) and leader OR "apprentice" roles-to learn from a current leader how to prep for a ministry (bible study, prayer meeting, guys group, girls group, usher, music, book club, etc.) Please feel free to ask the current officers/leaders about respective ministries if you feel God has given you the gift to lead in that ministry. (see NEW directory for contact info)

Actual elections will be held right after spring break. But please start "shadowing" a current leader once spring starts if you're interested. Thanks!! =)
