CBC Fall Student Art Gallery Submissions Begin This Week!
Attention all artists, wanna-be artists, or people who think they might possibly want to be an artist: We are re-starting our Inside Out Student Art Gallery this fall, and we have the opportunity to showcase YOUR photographs, sketches, drawings, paintings, and poetry beginning on Sunday, September 5.
Simply frame any work that exemplifies your experience in the category of “Summer 2010.” Make sure to put your name, year of graduation and e-mail address (in case people want to purchase the work, they can do so directly with you) on an index card we can display next to the work. If you haven’t started, BEGIN NOW! Once you have your work, please e-mail Brent@Crossroadsbible.org as we will have a limit of 40 pieces and we need to know how much gallery space to reserve.

Save The Date: Remember last year’s “Masterpiece” photo shoot? This year we’ve got Tracy McKinney taking your photos again with a different theme…and we’re adding a “family” photo shoot after students are done that will fit the same theme but can be used for that recent family photo you’ve been meaning to take or Christmas cards or whatever. The date will be on Sunday afternoon, September 26. We’ll provide sign ups and pizza lunch as well…more info later this summer!

Service Opportunities:


*Don’t forget the “loose change” offering with the great Carley Baker heading up our drive this year!

All of July—Beginning Sunday, July 4, and ending the 25th.
The student ministry portion of the CBC summer food drive is to get 300 boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (the middle school is providing bags of rice).

We hope everybody will take part in this great opportunity to serve our community through helping a local food pantry stock their shelves during the difficult summer months! Simply purchase the mac & cheese and put it on the Dungeon stage. We’ll box it up and make sure it gets where it needs to go!
