Happy Third Sunday in the season of Eastertide. Eastertide is a period of 50 days where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This year's Eastertide theme is P.S. I Love You: Love letters from God that teach us how to live as people of the resurrection. This Sunday, we learn how to live in community. As we worship, we pray the love of Christ will unify our hearts, our minds, and souls. All are invited to come into God's beloved community. All are invited to join God's holy fellowship. All are invited to become a part of the Body of Christ.

The scriptures this Sunday come from 1 John 3:11-24

Dear Cross Roads,

We continue in our Keep Cross Roads Cool Campaign. Our AC units in the Patio Room have run the course of their lifespan and summer is coming. Through our Keep Cross Roads Cool Campaign we are looking to raise $20,000.00 to help aid in the purchase and installation of two new AC units. By replacing our AC units we will gain six months of use in the Patio Room!

• For Cross Roads – this ensures availability for activities that socially connect and strengthen our faith in community. New AC Units will expand opportunities for CRUMC to G.R.O.W. by hosting additional missional events.
•  For Outside Groups – this offers opportunities for rentals of the Patio Room and can contribute to an increase in CRUMC revenue.

New AC units will also allow us to be more energy efficient by reducing our carbon footprint which contributes to Cross Road’s sustainability efforts in becoming more ‘green’.

 Here are some cool facts about this project:

• The AC Units stopped functioning properly in June of 2023.
• We need to replace these units as soon as possible to be able to schedule/rent out the Patio Room in summer and fall.
• The CRUMC Trustees have explored a variety of solutions and a replacement was deemed necessary.
• We have obtained two bids for a 3 ton split system and a 3.5 ton split system
• We will likely utilize Williams Mechanical to complete replacement/install as their bid was lowest and we have a long-standing relationship with this business.
• All funds raised will go into the restricted building and maintenance fund and earmarked to Keep Cross Roads Cool.
• Any additional funds raised that surpasses the total amount of the project will go into the restricted building and maintenance fund for future needs and continued maintenance of the new system.
• We have the opportunity to receive a match of up to $5,000 from the Desert Southwest United Methodist Foundation. We are very close to meeting this match!

Thank you for your contribution to help Keep Cross Roads Cool!

  “BARNEY’S DAY” AT CENTRAL PHOENIX DENNY’S

 One and all are invited to “Barney’s Day,” 2 to 9 p.m., Wednesday, April 17th at

Denny’s, 5002 North Seventh Street (at Camelback Road), Phoenix.

The special event celebrates Barney's 46th anniversary as the “best bus boy” at the busy central Phoenix restaurant where Methodist deaconess Lura Turner convinced management to give Barney “a chance” to bus tables and wash dishes over four decades ago. That chance turned into Barney working longer at one Denny’s than any other Denny’s employee in the company’s history! Barney’s special occasion runs from 2 to 9 p.m. Whether customers dine-in or take-out, Denny’s will donate 20 percent of every purchase to Lura Turner Homes, established in 1965 by Lura Turner to serve metro-Phoenix adults with developmental disabilities. For more information, please call LTH at 602-943-4789 or www.luraturnerhomes.org.
