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 | Intro to the Bible
DESCRIPTION:In this 3-week elective\, we will explore some essentials for understanding and interpreting the Bible (What is inspiration? Is the Bible authoritative? Why all the translations?)\, some pitfalls to avoid (What does it mean to take the Bible literally? Why does context matter?)\, and some hot topics we often avoid or wrestle with (Is the Bible pro-violence? Pro-slavery? Anti-women?). We will focus on understanding the overarching movements of the Bible as a key to making sense of where the whole Story is headed. \nSign Up Here

SUMMARY:Family Meals
DESCRIPTION:A Crossroads Family Meal\, at its simplest\, is a means to connect with others who call Crossroads “home”.  Even more\, it’s an opportunity to share with others in the goodness of God\, to express dependence upon him as a community\, and to celebrate all that He’s done with others in the family of God. There is so much importance in slowing down and joining with one another around the table to break bread and share stories of God’s provision and presence in our lives. The table is where relationships are deepened\, where family reconnects and where God’s faithfulness is proclaimed. We invite you to the table to join us for a meal! \nWe love that these meals have become a regular part of the rhythm of community at Crossroads. \nRegister to attend

SUMMARY:Men's Retelling Your Story Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The heart of a man is hardwired to connect with God\, seek adventure alongside a band of brothers\, and partner with God in impacting the world. But too often we forsake this kind of life and just give ourselves to the daily grind. This weekend is about the recovery of your heart. It’s about plugging yourself into the larger story that God is writing in this world instead of the lesser narratives all around us. It’s about getting real with each other and with God. \nAt a story retreat we will explore the woods\, enjoy the cabin\, eat great food\, and gather around the campfire. However\, the real meat of the weekend will be an opportunity to explore our stories\, and confront the ways in which the enemy has tried to keep us down. We go to the wilderness to explore the things that make our hearts come alive\, but we also go to the wilderness to unearth and tend to the places in our story where we feel stuck so we can open ourselves up to receive all God has for us. \nThe weekend is a combination of fun in the wilderness\, storytelling\, times of reflection\, and times of sharing together. The cabin will be comfortable\, the wilderness beautiful\, the meals delicious\, and the campfires will burn into the night. Whether you consider yourself an “outdoorsman” or not\, this will be a meaningful opportunity to refresh and reawaken your heart. \nSign Up Here
