NEW: McFarland Stuff the Bus Collection August 2 - August 16 Each year, a handful of McFarland organizations, businesses, and area churches work together to conduct a “Stuff the Bus” campaign benefiting children served by the McFarland Food Pantry. Crossroads Church will again participate by accepting donations of backpacks and school supplies in our lobby. If you don’t want to shop, they will accept checks made out to the McFarland Community Food Pantry with a memo: “Stuff the Bus”, include a note that you are from Crossroads Church, and mail to McFarland Community Food Pantry, PO Box 101, McFarland, WI 53558. We will be delivering all donations on August 17, so get busy shopping the sales! Questions: ask Shirley McCallum or Bette Lemkuil. |

Christian Speed Dating Event A group endorsed by High Point Church in Madison is planning a Christian speed-dating event for late August, designed for singles ages 25-45 who want a more intentional way to meet other believers across the city. The event will be structured to include short conversations, clear expectations, low pressure, and mutual-match follow-up afterward at a local venue. Joining the interest list does not commit anyone to attending; it simply gives them first access when registration opens and helps the team plan capacity, age ranges, and event details. Interest form can be found here. |
