Living in community with others goes beyond Sunday morning hugs and hi's.
Crosspoint Women will host its second annual “In Common - Women’s Event” for learning and growing together on Saturday, July 20, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
This day of workshops is a time where women can better get to know one another while exploring common interests. Deadline to sign up is Sunday, July 14. Some classes have limited seating and may fill up sooner.
Doing life together outside the church doors requires spending time together in real life relationships. It is this connection that invites opportunities for living out truth and grace in our relationships to become more and more like Jesus. And it begins with having things "In Common."
Everyone will have lunch on their own, allowing additional time to spend together.
Childcare will not be provided for this event.
