For many years Crossroads packed and distributed Christmas grocery hampers for needy households as part of a program run by the Salvation Army. COVID has prevented us from running this program so instead we have been raising money ($4000 last year) to forward to the Salvation Army to provide the hampers. If you would like to contribute to this worthwhile Christmas project, add your cash or check donation to your giving envelope and identify it "Salvation Army Christmas hampers", or use our Online deposit tool (under FUND, select Christmas Hampers). ![]() (most sessions are taught over ZOOM) Fall Session (Sept 11 to Dec 20, 2023) Monday mornings - Cardio & Strength - 10:00 - 10:45am (no class Oct 9 or Oct 30, 2023) Tuesday mornings ![]() (classes end Nov 21, 2023) Wednesday mornings - PWR!Moves (Parkinson's Fitness) - 10:00 - 11:00am - Exercise for Arthritis - 11:15 - 12:00noon (no class on Nov 1, 2023) In-person class: Tuesday mornings Seniors General Exercise - 10:15 - 11:00 All sessions are taught by certified instructors, and are geared to all fitness levels.

Symbols: Hope and waiting are the themes of this season. Each Sunday a different candle is lit, corresponding with hope, peace, joy and love. Sometimes purple (the colour of royalty, but also of asking forgiveness) is used for each candle; recently, blue (representing Mary, who waits with us for her baby's arrival) has become more common. The third Sunday uses a different colour - pink, representing joy. On Christmas or Christmas eve, the Christ candle (the white one in the middle) is lit. ![]() click here! to find out how our outreach committee can help. ![]() click here to find out more about green initiatives at Crossroads, including our 10kW solar array as we live out our commitment to "Live with respect in Creation" |
