SUMMARY:Men's | Fireside Gathering South
DESCRIPTION:Join with a bunch of guys around the fire in Byron Center on the 4th Saturday of each month! Fireside Gatherings are for any guys over the age of 18\, who desire to grow in their faith in a laid back\, and welcoming atmosphere where they are free to be themselves. Typically\, we will spend the first little while catching up with friends and getting to know any newcomers while enjoying some good food. Then one of our Crossroads guys will share some of their story and give us some questions and ideas to kick around. Conversations will generally center around the lessons learned through our experiences of walking as Jesus followers in everyday life. \nReal stories\, real guys\, real life… \nWe also believe Fireside gives us a chance to encourage and support any guys who are in the midst of hard stuff\, so every gathering has a time for prayer and coming around guys who may be feeling it. If you are struggling\, please come and find this to be a place with no judgement and a lot of concern for your heart. \nWhat to Bring\nCamp chair\, beverage of choice (we typically have coffee\, especially during the cold months). Food is provided! Dress appropriately! We hope you experience some authentic and meaningful community at Fireside. Some guys may choose to puff on something around the fire or consume an adult beverage and some guys don’t. We feel that is just fine. We simply ask everyone to be responsible with how much alcohol they consume and limit it to a couple. Feel free to be yourself with this. \nWhere to go\nThe home of Ron Jansen at 8289 Burlingame Ave in Byron Center \nTo learn more about On Men’s Ministry\, click here.

SUMMARY:Elective | In a Secular World\, Why Do We Need the Bible?
DESCRIPTION:Crossroads’ former Associate Pastor\, Dr Neil Martin\, has lived and served for the past 10 years in one of the world’s most secular cities – Oxford. The last thing you would think this constituency would be hungry for is the Bible. So why does a crowd of non-Christian students gather there every Monday night to hear and discuss passages from the gospels? And why is the church plant where Neil serves fuller than ever before with seekers? \nCome and find out how the arrival of secularism is creating opportunities for effective outreach and paths to deepen our confidence in the centrality and brilliance of God’s word. \nPlus: desserts from Grand Traverse Pie Company\, real English tea\, and an update on the ministry of B-Less to students in Oxford and beyond.

SUMMARY:Elective | In a Secular World\, What's Good About the Gospel?
DESCRIPTION:Crossroads’ former Associate Pastor\, Dr. Neil Martin\, has lived and served for the past 10 years in one of the world’s most secular cities – Oxford. In a place where self-determination is the highest value\, and every student is only as good as the last grade they received\, you wouldn’t expect to find much excitement about the gospel. And yet\, Neil and his colleagues have never seen so much spiritual openness. \nCome and find out why surrendering to Jesus and admitting how much we need him makes just as much sense as it ever did\, even when the world changes. \nPlus: desserts from Grand Traverse Pie Company\, real English tea\, and an update on the ministry of B-Less to students in Oxford and beyond.
