“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.

It is with mixed emotions that we share that our P It is with mixed emotions that we share that our Program Director Kathryn Schaefer is stepping down from her position with Cross Roads at the end of January 2022 as she embarks on new adventures. Kathryn joined our staff in 2015 and has served our community with creativity, positive energy, and faithfulness for the past seven years. We are so grateful to her dedication to this ministry and will miss her greatly! We hope you will join us in thanking Kathryn for a job REALLY well done. ❤️ Even as we are sad to say farewell to Kathryn, we are overjoyed to share that Dylan and Helen Payanzo will be joining the Cross Roads year-round administrative staff in January! 🎉 Dylan was raised as a camper at Cross Roads and has served on our Summer Staff in a variety of roles since 2016 and as a Camp Assistant from 2019-2020. Helen first joined the Cross Roads Summer Staff as a counselor in 2017 and has since served on our leadership team as Program Coordinator and as our lifeguard trainer. They will work alongside Kathryn and the whole team during the month of January to ensure a smooth transition. We give thanks for these leaders and ask that you please keep them in your prayers.
