 “Back to Church Sunday,” part of a national movement of churches across America, will be held at Crossroads Community Church in Red Oak at 9:23 a.m. September 15. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Since it started as a call to action and invitation for the church in 2009, the National Back to Church Sunday movement marks its tenth year and continues gain momentum. More than 5 million Christ followers have participated through 30,000 churches! It is a day focused on uniting the church to equip and empower members to be inviters. Eight out of ten people say they are open to visiting church if invited—they are just waiting for an invitation.

For Back to Church Sunday, Crossroads Community Church will have a special service that features a time of worship and praise, Children’s Church, a new sermon series entitled, Together,” and a tailgate style luncheon after Celebration Services. Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite team jersey/shirt that day.

I encourage to come check us out! If this is your first time to church, or first time in a while. We are more concerned about your present and future than your past. We want people to know that God loves them and life is better together and best with Jesus,” says Pastor Ricky A. Rohrig Sr., founding pastor of Crossroads.

BTCS has a new theme this year, “Together,” that addresses a felt need in today’s culture. At some point, we are all searching for connectedness. Searching for a way to be part of something bigger than us. This is a time for everyone to experience the church as a place of belonging—rooted in restoration and unity brought by Jesus.

Participating churches believe that there has never been a better time than now for people to come back and get plugged in to a church that offers friendships, opportunities to serve the community, and the chance to grow spiritually through a journey of personal faith.

The Back to Church Sunday website includes a roster of participating churches www.BackToChurch.com/find_a_church, and an interactive Facebook pageprovides insights and resources for participating churches.
