***Camp Boggy Creek :
Please send Josh, jnlin85@ufl.edu, the weekends you would like to go to CBC. Email Josh by THIS FRIDAY. Some advice in choosing the weekends: see if your academic schedule permits (exams, projects, etc. around that time?) and what disease population do you want to work with? Remember, Family weekends begin at 2pm on Friday until 2pm on Sunday. We will carpool from Gainesville at 12pm and we'll return on Sunday by 4pm. Please plan accordingly. After compiling your emails, Josh will then finalize a weekend where the most Crossroaders can go together. (FYI, you may also go with a smaller group if you want to go other weekends or can't go the chosen weekend...granted IF you have turned in your application.)
*** YOUTH GROUP SEEKS VOLUNTEER : from Luke
Peace be with you. We (Annie and I) are seeking more people to teach and lead the youth group at the GCCC. Here is some information about the youth group: The students in the youth group range from 6th to 12th grade and are about split even among boys and girls. Aside from Friday Bible study, we also have special events such as watching films together or visiting the park (as we did during our mini group Sabbath this fall).
If you sense a calling to serve the young people in the Church, we would be honored and delighted for you to join us. There is a need for more leaders so any of your talents would be a great help. In
addition, serving with young people is a great way to learn and grow as a Christian.
Please contact either me or Annie before Sunday if you are at all interested so we can discuss this question and discern God's will together.

Ramp Update : let's finish it together !!
Hey Everyone,
I wanted to thank the people who came out to Mr. Carpenter's ramp build, just to update the group we did not finish, because of some nasty weather we all experienced yesterday. We are about 75% finished and we plan on finishing up his ramp tomorrow around 9:15, we are going to meet in two different places Stoneridge as well as CCC's headquarters. We only have about 2 hours or so left so come and take apart of the action. Again, we are meeting at 9:15 it takes about 15 minutes to get there. This email is going out to CCF and Crossroads, so I hope everyone can make it and serve along aside one another.
So everyone knows this is the perfect time to go if you might be interested because, the ramp is already almost finished, so you will be able to get a sample of what it would be like without having to make a full day's commitment.
Aside from the calling to help others, this is honestly a great time to understand the necessity in fellowship as well as working in a team. I personally can attest, that working together with groups for this purpose really encourages me to see exactly how the body of Christ, the church can come together and work together and see a finish product. So come if your heart burdens you or if you are drawn by the Spirit within to help. Call me, I will do my best to arrange and setup a ride for you. I will be up until 1 AM or so maybe 2 AM.
Directions & Addresses, (If you plan on meeting us at Mr. Carpenter's place here is the address)
Mr. Carpenter's - 2178 Nw 177th Ave | Gainesville, FL 32609-4264
Stoneridge – Meet at Kevin Lo, Glenn, Eric, Jeremy's Apartment
CCC - 1903 Nw 35th Ave, Gainesville, FL 32605
because of Christ, your brother.

Music help for crossroads
Please prayerfully consider if God wants you to serve Him and His people this semester through the worship team. You do not have to play an instrument; a genuine heart is all God desires. You could serve in areas such as playing (guitar, piano, violin, flute, djembe, or whatever it is that you play) singing, and powerpoint typing. Please do take some time to pray about this, even if you've never considered being a part of the music team, or you've always served in this area. God uses whoever He chooses to, and not necessarily the talented or the able. I understand that a lot of unforeseen stressors might come up during the semester, but don't let the unknown deter you from committing to the worship team, for God will strengthen His chosen.
Please get back to Wanda with any decision you hear from God, or any question you might have concerning the worship team by next Wednesday the 16th. (352) 359-3876 or wanjing@ufl.edu

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!! =)
