News & Notes
SR Students’ Fall Retreat Update
SR Students’ Fall Retreat last weekend was a
great weekend with amazing weather. The
activities, music and speaking times were
impactful, and students and leaders had good
opportunities for spiritual connection. Thank
you for your prayers, and please continue to
pray that God will develop the seeds that were
sown over the weekend in the lives of the
students, their friends, and their families.
India Trip
Nathan Tuckey, the Lead Pastor of South Ridge,
is presently in India and will be speaking at
several churches and pastors’ conferences this

encourage those who are followers of Jesus in
India and that those who are leading the
churches in India would be strengthened. Pray
also for safety as he travels in and around the
city of Bangalore.

used to meet the needs of people in our
congregation and community. The fund
provides help for utility bills, groceries, rental &
mortgage, car repairs & gasoline, medical bills,

Thanksgiving season is an excellent time to
contribute to help meet the needs of others.

Crossroads Christian
Academy
Groups, Growth &
Connecting Points
Every Wednesday at Crossroads is Chapel Day
when we gather for a time of worship and often
parents join us. A recent theme was service,
the 8th grade presented several short skits to
demonstrate what service looks like followed
by a “Bible Challenge” game as the Jr. High
students competed to find verses that talk
about serving others. For the younger children,
Kindergarten teacher, Jeanne Lerch, used a
carved pumpkin to explain how sin can dim the
light that should shine forth from each of
us. For more information or to schedule a visit,
call 908-735-5501 or visit our website
www.crossroadschristianacademy.net.
Groups, Growth, & Connecting Points
Groups @ South Ridge are small communities
where people are changed by God’s Spirit as
they experience belonging, embrace God’s
grace, and extend God’s love. They’re places
where people “grow in 3D” (3 directions) in,
up, and out. Three types of groups are offered:
Serving Opportunities

blessing to give and a blessing to receive! If you
