 Christmas BasketsThis December, Crossroads will again be providing 48 Christmas food baskets as a part of the city-wide Salvation Army drive for which we will need to raise $3500. Consider contributing to this program that benefits the less fortunate. You can add your donation to your regular Sunday offering (indicate "Christmas baskets" on the envelope), drop it off at the church office, or consider contributing on-line using our CanadaHelps portal.  Bread of Life - can you help?This is a group of helpers from Crossroads that serves dinner (organized by the Salvation Army) the last Monday of each month to those in need. Can you volunteer? Contact the church office or sign up after church.

About the season: Advent  When: Starts Dec. 1 in 2019 (four Sundays before Christmas) and runs until Christmas Day.Colour: Blue Meaning: "Advent" means "coming" as we await the coming of Jesus (the Word made flesh) into the world at Christmas. 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.
