Children's Ministry Mission Sunday

On January 7, 2024, Cross View Children's Ministry sponsored fun and informative Mission Sunday activities. Between services, children (and adults) learned about all sorts of mission opportunities, including the Rochester Servant Event, Los Vásquez (in Guatemala), POBLO, and more. Interactive stations helped make these opportunities come alive for the kids.
