Communion will be celebrated and we will welcome new members into the Crossroads family of faith. Try wearing RED! (the colour of Pentecost) Afterwards, stay for a Special Thank-you Luncheon, provided by participants in the Multicultural Youth Group who meet in our hall every Tuesday under the supervision of Immigration Services Kingston (ISKA).

Our church is working with the Islamic Centre of Kingston and Edith Rankin, St. Andrew's-by-the-lake, Cataraqui, and Cooke's-Portsmouth United Churches to help bring at least two refugee families to Kingston and to raise funds and provide support as they establish themselves in our community.

About the season: Easter  When:The Easter season lasts for 50 days following Easter (PLUS the 7 Sundays during this period), and ends on Pentecost, the birthday of the Christian Church (this year on June 9, 2019). Meaning: Although not certain, "Easter" may originally derive from the Anglo-Saxon word for "spring" (Eostre)- the time of year when Easter occurs. Colour: White or GOLD Event: a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and a reminder that death does not have the final word. It is a time of renewal as we celebrate God's ongoing work in the world through his people.  click here! to find out how our outreach committee can help.
