Crossroads (a group for 4th and 5th grade students)
In April 2024 we launched a brand new Tween Group for 4th and 5th grade students called Crossroads. This group meets in the Old Fellowship Hall on select Sunday nights from 5:30-7:30 and runs much like our youth program. Together we enjoy recreation, supper, games, faith conversations and more!
Who are our leaders? Our Crossroads leaders are Matt and Katie Gillespie, Tresca McSwain, Kristie Marr, Angela Bradmon, and Jennifer Martin.
What's for supper? Just as the parents provide supper for our youth group every Sunday night we ask parents to sign up and feed our Crossroads kids. Parents, you can access the sign up HERE.
What happens at Crossroads? Our 4th and 5th graders are at a special age- getting old for the children's ministries but not yet ready for youth ministry. While we follow the youth model schedule, we make adaptations based on this specific group and their ages. We begin with recreation, eat supper together, play get to know you games, worship, and have a lesson (faith conversations). Friends are welcome to join us! Email jennifer@fumcbelmont.org for more information.
What's next at Crossroads? We relaunch for the winter on February 9 with a special afternoon team building and low ropes course activity at Anne Springs Close Greenway from 2:00-4:00. The cost is $15 per child. The payment and signed waiver must be turned in by February 2. We will have our regular meetings at the church from 5:30-7:30 on Feb 23, March 9 and 23, April 6 and May 4.
