Crossroad’s 2009 summer intern, Robert, has enriched the ministry of our church in so many ways—piano accompaniment, special music, song leading, giving devotionals at youth group, and being and encouragement to all of us. During each break he gets from school, Rob faithfully attends Crossroad Baptist and puts his heart into it. He is now [...]

Crossroad Baptist Turns 2!
Milestones are important because they mark the path of our lives, but better yet, they cause us to pause a minute to reflect on the past. Sunday we marked the 2nd anniversary of Crossroad Baptist Church. It was refreshing to look back on what God has done in growing His church in Verrado, AZ. Just [...]
Waiting…then Whirlwind on Winslow Avenue
The Wait You may be thinking, “What in the world took Stephen and Elisabeth so very long to close on their house?” I’ve wondered that myself! We looked at the house in late March, bid on it the end of March, but then didn’t close until June 4th. First of all, I’m learning that the [...]
Easter Quake

I now have one less thing on my list of “Never Have I Ever.” I have now felt an earthquake for the first time! We were over at a friend’s house for an Easter BBQ, and I had just sat down with my plate of food at the table. It felt like my chair was [...]
Lessons from Children’s Church
I had the opportunity to teach Children’s Church for the month of January. I decided to teach the story of Joseph in 5 segments to stretch it out over the month. What fun to teach kids who are so teachable. We learned lots of new songs like Rolled Away, I’ve Got Joy Down in my [...]
Beginning Our Employed Life
As you can probably tell from the lack of blog posts recently, Stephen and I had our first week of work last week. We were so excited to start, but what a week we had! Crossroad held evangelistic services Sunday through Wednesday with Evangelist Morris Gleiser. We were privileged to keep Evang. Morris and his [...]

Crossroad Baptist Church installed its first deacons and church officers today. Last month the first annual administration meeting was held, where the church voted in two deacons—Duane and Stephen. Today we held a Deacon Ordination ceremony. Pastor read the Biblical qualifications for deacons and their wives (1 Timothy 3:8-13), and then he prayed over the [...]
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Our church’s Christmas cantata this morning was entitled “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” Stephen had the privilege of writing the narration, which was read by a couple in our church. The narration went line by line through the familiar carol explaining the doctrine within its text. From there, Stephen wove in scripture verses that were [...]
Pie & Praise

The festivities just continued throughout the week! Tuesday night the Horkavys invited us over to help them trim their tree and decorate for Christmas. It was fantastic! We listened to Nat King Cole sing carols while the ornaments were hung, garlands arranged, lights strung, and the toy train assembled. Afterward we feasted on breakfast—one of [...]
Teen Times

Crossroad’s teens have been a joy to work with! We have four 7th-12th graders, a 6th grader and a 5th grader. Stephen has been leading the singing while I’ve been privileged to play the piano. This week I took my autoharp to switch things up. This Monday we delivered Thanksgiving baskets and turkeys to four [...]
