I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! There is a lot happening this month and we hope you will be able to join us! 

This Sunday, December 7th, CrossTown will not meet. Our next meeting will be December 14th at Good Shepherd from 5-6:45pm. We will have tacos for dinner and write Christmas cards to be delivered to people in jail. 

6-12 graders: 

• This Thursday, December 4, is our shopping trip to buy gifts for the angel tree. All gifts we purchase will be donated to Sharing House for their Christmas blessings program. We will meet at FUMC at 4pm and ride the bus to Arden for dinner and shopping. We will return by 8pm. Please let Sarah Grace or Abby know if you plan to join us so we make sure to have enough transportation. 

• We hope you can join us for our CrossTown Christmas party on December 21. We will meet at the White Squirrel Arcade from 5-7pm. We have rented the whole arcade so we encourage you to invite a friend that night. This is a free event but ask that everyone bring a dish to share for dinner. 

• Our Winter Lights Trip is rescheduled for January 4 from 4:00-8:00PM! This is such a BUSY time of year so we are rescheduling our Winter Lights for Sunday, January 4 and inviting both Middle School and High School! This will be our regular Crosstown meeting to kick-off the new year! All are welcome! Please RSVP using this link: Winter Lights RSVP
