We all gather together as a church. Some of us for years on end. We are all unique in our own way, socializing or alone.
In your name, Christ Jesus. we all pray for each others needs. We are family. Things happen and prayers and praise are needed. In God's grace bless us as we care for each other. Lord, we are grateful for Your forgiveness, and we are grateful for our church family and friends. Amen
Terra King
Dear heavenly Father, be with all the leaders in the church as we get ready to celebrate Back to Church Sunday. Help the leaders have an open mind this school year. Be with the music team and help the team grow, more voices singing Your songs. Be with all the new members of the church and let them all feel at home. Be with Crossroads Counseling Center, and for eeryone to get the help that they need. Be with any leader that is going through a rough time right now... bless their heart and let them know they are loved. Always remember, God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. Amen.

Our dear HEAVENLY FATHER we come to You in JESUS name; thanking You for all You have given us. First and foremost our salvation through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. We thank You for the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT to help us navigate this life while You intercede for us at the FATHER'S right hand.
Bless us as individuals and Crossroads Church as a whole to be a beacon of light to all in our community and share the message of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST. Be with our pastors and leaders and give them wisdom for leadership, to pursue Your direction for our church in this growing area.
May Your visions be seen from wisdom provided by YOU ALMIGHTY GOD for our tasks You have for us, and help us to not be complacent because we have been so blessed by all You have done for us.
Give us strength in our walk with You. Give us wisdom to see Your visions for us to do Your will. Make us thankful for our freedom to worship. Forgive us of our sins against You. Bless our leaders. We worship You and look forward to the day of Your rule.
In JESUS name we pray. AMEN

Dear Lord and Heavenly Father,
Please watch over our Leadership team and keep them strong and healthy. Remind all of us in the church body to stay committed to learning about You as our leaders guide and teach us, and that we grow together and strengthen our community at Crossroads. Thank You for the lessons learned here reminding us that we are not always in control of everything that happens to us, nor do we always understand the why, but we can be humble, take responsibility, and look to You for salvation.
Amen

Dear Lord,
As we begin another year as a church family, I pray that You would guide us in everything we
do. Help us not to simply go through another year of routines, but to grow closer to You and
become the church You are calling us to be.
Give our church unity. Help us love one another, encourage one another, and remember
that we are all part of one family. When there are differences or difficult moments, give us
patience, humility, and grace toward each other.
I pray that You would give our leaders wisdom, strength, and guidance as they lead our
church. Help them hear Your voice clearly and give them courage to follow wherever You
lead them.
Help each of us discover how You want us to serve. Give us hearts that are willing to step
outside of our comfort zones, notice the people who need encouragement, and be a light to
those around us. Bring new people through our doors who are searching for You, and help
them feel Your love through the way we welcome and care for them.
Most of all, Lord, keep Jesus at the center of everything we do. Let our church be known not
just for what we do, but for the way we love, serve, forgive, and reflect You.
I pray that when we look back on this year, we will be able to see all the ways You were
working, even in the moments we didn’t understand at the time. Lead us, grow us, and use
us for Your purpose.
We give You this coming year, our church, and ourselves. May everything we do bring glory
to You.
Amen.
Claudia Mills
Father God,
I lift my eyes to You and give You all the praise and gratitude for this wonderful church family. You have given me a special gift of fellowship and support through Crossroads Community Church. I pray the coming year is filled with Your Presence, Your Holy Spirit and Your Son shining into my life and that of the entire church; that the Holy Spirit overflows into all those around my church family and for my leaders. I pray for Your guidance as I look within for Your direction on how I may be an active part of Crossroads. I pray scripture lights up our church every Sunday and stays flowing forth into each other and all who cross our paths all week long.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your love and Your sacrifice.
In Your Precious Name, I give You the glory. Amen
Marley Knakal
Dear Lord, thank you for the opportunities the church has had to gather in your name over the summer through various ministries. As fall starts, help us keep that sense of community going. Help the youth continue to expand and learn more about how they were made for more. Help the children continue to find their place in your huge galaxy. Watch over all the new births we've had over the summer and help them grow to know you. And let the whole congregation continue to guide and help those in need. Amen.
Mike Waroway
Father,
We gather as a church in Your name. We all bring our unique stories and are people who come together in unity in Christ’s name.
Lord, be with the families of Crossroads. I ask that families would see and know Your presence in new and powerful ways. Father, protect parents and help us to see Your path for our kids. There are many seemingly “new” paths in the world, but Your scripture tells us that there is nothing new under the sun. Your word guides us with Your law, not so that we are judged but because You know Your ways are best in life.
Proverbs is full of verses that promise that Your wisdom is available for any who ask. God, I need to remember that. As a dad, help me to be still and spend time with you. For all of us dads and husbands, I ask that you give us Eyes to see and Ears to hear that you talk about in Your scripture. Father, You are clear that sin leads to a path of separation from You and to destruction. Reveal to us Your path so that we do not go away from it. Your law and judgement is given out of love for us as Your children because You know what the better way in life is. For the families of Crossroads, I ask that You reveal Your way, Your path, Your wisdom. That we might avoid the pitfalls of today’s trends. Your wisdom lives forever. Father, help the families of Crossroads to search for Your wisdom so that we can guide our families.
In Christ's name, Amen.
Dawn Rapp
Dear God,
I pray for our church leadership team. Please give them wisdom, strength, and patience as they lead and serve our church. There are so many decisions and responsibilities that come with leadership, and I pray that they feel your presence and guidance in all that they do. Help them to seek You first, to listen to one another, and to lead with kindness, humility, and love. Please protect their families, give them rest when they need it, and remind them that they do not have to carry everything on their own. Thank you for the time, energy, and hearts they give to our church. May they feel encouraged and supported, and may You continue to bless them as they lead our church according to Your will. Amen.
Jeff Noechel
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for each and every person that has come, and will come through the doors of Crossroads. Thank you for the first-time visitor, to the lifelong member. Thank you for blessing our original members with the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit as the church was formed and the land was selected. Thank you for using the building AND the people of Crossroads to Love You, to Love People, and to Live the Good News of our salvation through Your Son Christ Jesus.
Lord, as I sit quietly in church on Sunday and watch folks with wide smiles give deep hugs, or stand singing at the riverbank after watching Your children get baptized, or see the smiles on the faces of the kids during VBS, or having just enough money to pay the mortgage that we might provide the men and women of A.A. a safe, welcoming place to come and get their strength renewed… I know You are in this place. Thank you for this church family; our “chamily”. You know our needs. You hear us. You love us. And I just want to say, “Thank You, Lord God.” Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. And thank you for your Son Christ Jesus who died for us that we might live and be Your children. We ask that You continue to bless us that we might continue to be a blessing to others. Amen.

Jessica Grush
Dear God, thank you for Crossroads Church as a community in which we can grow in our love for each other and for You.
I pray that we would be an expression of Your love to the youth of our church, demonstrating what it looks like to live our faith authentically and with intention.
Give us wisdom as we seek to guide our children in a world with many competing demands for their time and attention. Make us aware of the places in our own lives where we are spending our energy in ways that aren’t beneficial.
Help us to see our kids as reflections of Your image, each bringing something unique and meaningful to our families, our church, and our communities. May we demonstrate what it looks like to use our own gifts and resources to contribute to the building up of the Church.
I am reminded that our faith has always been handed down from one generation to the next, through stories and by example. Help us to live out our faith in such a way that our children see You and are drawn into Your grace. In the words of Micah 6:8, help us to act justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God. Amen.
Michaela McClain
Heavenly Father, Today we come before You with open hearts, knowing that You are our Great Physician. You see every hurt we carry—the pain that others can see and the pain we keep hidden. We ask You to heal our bodies, our minds, our hearts, and our spirits. Bring comfort to those who are hurting, hope to those who feel lost, and strength to those who are tired of carrying their burdens alone.
Lord, we pray for healing beyond ourselves. Heal the divisions in our families, our communities, our country, and our world. Where there is injustice, give us courage to speak. Where there is inequality, give us the strength to stand for what is right. Where people feel unseen, unheard, or forgotten, help us be the hands and feet of Your love.
Remind us that every person is created in Your image and is worthy of dignity, compassion, and love. Help us not only to pray for justice, but to live it. Not only to ask for peace, but to be peacemakers. Not only to welcome people into our church, but to make sure every person truly feels that they belong.
As we prepare for Back to Church Sunday, Lord, let our church be more than a building people walk into. Let it be a place where broken hearts find healing, where the lonely find belonging, where the hurting find hope, and where every person knows they are loved. And when we leave the church doors, help us carry Your healing, Your justice, and Your love with us into the world. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus, our Healer, our Hope, and our Savior. Amen.
Bethany Burpee
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the faithful members of our church who have served You for many years—those who have built ministries, led groups and retreats, cared for our children, and faithfully poured into others. Bless them for their commitment, wisdom, and willingness to serve.
As seasons change, raise up the next generation of leaders. Bring forward the right people with humble hearts, spiritual maturity, and a desire to serve. Help them recognize the gifts You have placed within them and give them courage to step into new opportunities.
Prepare faithful successors for every ministry, including our crafters group, retreats, children’s ministry, worship team and all the important roles that support our church family. Help longtime leaders mentor and encourage those coming behind them, and help new leaders honor the foundation that has been built.
Remind us that this is Your church. We trust You to provide the right people at the right time and to guide every transition with gratitude, unity, and grace.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Dani Domanik
Lord, today I want to ask your blessings over our leadership and congregation. God, I have seen You move us and grow us in so many ways. The one closest to my heart, is seeing how our church welcomes everyone, wherever they are at in their life. Lord, help us to continue to see people and meet them where they are, just as Jesus did. Help us to be an open and welcoming place for people to turn who are hurting. For those who are struggling in one way or another, fighting battles that we can not see. Father God, let us shine Your light into their lives. Let them see that they have a safe place here at Crossroads to learn of Your amazing, renewing, forgiving love. Let our love show them that they are the sons and daughters of the Most High King, and that they are worthy of His love and forgiveness.
God we know through You, chains can be broken, relationships can be mended, and bonds can be formed that are unbreakable. Help our bonds as a church family stay strong throughout the coming year. We thank you for giving us the leaders that we have. Lord be with them as they walk us through your word in this year ahead. God, we know through You, there is hope in a world that has so much uncertainty. Thank you for being our foundation that will not move when the rains pour down. We bring all of this to you today in your Son's precious name, Amen.
Holly Bunker
Heavenly father, as we enter a new church year, we ask that you pour out your spirit of unity and love upon our congregation.
Please help us to deeply connect as a community, removing any walls that divide us, so we can grow together as one church family.
Let our warmth be felt by every visitor that walks through our doors.
We also lift up our church leadership to you.
Please grant them wisdom and guide them as they make decisions. Protect their hearts from burnout and guide and help them to lead with grace and truth.
Teach us to give with joyful hearts so we can do good things in our community and congregation.
We pray for your blessings over our church finances. Lord, we lift all these prayers up to you.
Help us to grow together with faith and purpose. Amen.
Kati Laskowski
Dear Lord,
Please be with all the people of Crossroads. Especially those going through struggles with their health or a loved one’s health. Be with all the families that have recently welcomed new babies. Give us all strength to get through the difficult times we may be facing.
Lord please be with Crossroads Christian Early Education Daycare and Preschool. Be with all the teachers and families. Please also send us more children to love and care for. Thank you for always listening and being with me. Amen
Ron & Sue Rankin
Meg and Justin Mielke
Dear God, we pray that you would help Crossroads be a church that is known for loving people. Help us notice the people around us who may be hurting, lonely, struggling, or just in need of a little kindness. Give us hearts that are willing to help without expecting anything in return and remind us that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a bigger difference than we realize. Give us opportunities to show your love in our everyday lives, whether that’s helping someone in need, encouraging someone, welcoming someone new, a simple compliment, or simply doing something kind because we feel called to. Help us build a church where people genuinely care for each other and look for ways to love and serve the people around them. We pray that through these small acts, people would not only feel cared for but would experience Your love through us. Amen.
Hannah Johnson
Dear God,
Thank you for the beginning of another program year at Crossroads. Bless all of the ministry groups at our church. I pray that those who have been longing for connection in Christ would feel called by You to check out our ministry offerings. Put your hand on all discussions and connections that will come out of these ministries. Create a community where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
Help us be a body of believers whose actions mirror those of Your son. Help us show the fruits of the spirit both within our congregation and outside the walls of this church. Encourage us to treasure the opportunity to be Your hands and feet on this earth.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Jean Gibbons
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you for this body of believers. I pray that you would cover us with your love, mercy, grace, protection and provision. Give our pastors a special ability to hear from you through your Word and boldness to speak truth. Open the ears of the congregation and visitors. Soften their hearts to receive what you would have for them. Help us to first love you and then others. Put a hedge of protection around our children and grandchildren as they navigate this world and the obstacles they will face. We love You and we praise your Holy Name. Amen.
Beth Henderson
Dear God,
Thank you for all that you do for our Crossroads church family. Thank you for your faithfulness to us every second of every minute, every hour of every day.
Please continue to guide our pastors, staff, ministry leaders, volunteers, and every member of our congregation as we serve you together. Please protect and watch over our Crossroads family and keep us safe, healthy, joyful, and strong. May you shine your light into every corner of our lives, filling our hearts with hope, peace, and love as we continue our walk with you.
Please help us to “Live the Good News” each day through our words, our actions, and the way we love others.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Kristi Kittendorf
Heavenly Father, we come to You to ask for Your hand on our church and our hearts. Protect our leaders from weariness and discouragement. Fill our body with Your Holy Spirit, unite our hearts in love, and use us to reach our local community with the good news of Jesus Christ.
Sabrena Harris
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the blessing of our church family and for the love that unites us through Jesus Christ. Fill our hearts with compassion, kindness, and understanding so that we may encourage one another, forgive freely, and extend grace in every circumstance. Help us to listen with open hearts, speak words that build up, and always reflect Your love in our thoughts, actions, and relationships.
Lord, strengthen the bond we share as we serve You together. Teach us to carry one another’s burdens, celebrate each other’s joys, and remain united through every season of life. May our church be a place where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and valued, and may our love for one another be a testimony that draws others closer to You. We ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 🙏
Candy Farmer
God Bless Crossroads Community Church as we start another year. May the Holy Spirit guide us and show us grace and discernment to meet life’s unexpected challenges. Let us find encouragement to trust His provision through every season and hardship. As a church, let’s follow the truth according to how Jesus’ life was lived, so that our neighbors see Truth, Love, and the Commitment we have for Him. In Your name we pray. Amen. ❤️
