Webmaster's Note: Please
join me in wishing Pastor Cory Pariseau a very Happy Birthday on July 20th! I am truly blessed that God has joined our paths in life and I'm sure many others feel the same way...Happy Birthday Pastor Cory!!! News Hot Hot Hot!
In this new month of July, the Lord is truly letting us know we are in the season of summer where spring ends and summer begins! We are thankful for this beautiful month and with the celebration of the birth of our nation just past, we ask you to be safe out there with the many fireworks displays and cookouts going on. We pray that you enjoy the celebrations and have the spirit of God within!
I would like to thank Pastor Dan & Jackie Zickafoose of Victory Hillside Chapel and the V.H.C. Church Family
in Kingston, Ohio! 3 of the CrossKIDZ had a wonderful time at their annual Vacation Bible School this year, the theme this year being "Operation Gospel Storm." What a set up they had for all the kids who showed up! First each child had to enlist into God's Army. They had a Mess Hall, an obstacle course and of course, great teaching of the word of God. All of the volunteers were great in helping the kids learn to have pride for their country and to put on the full amour of God. What a glory to have such a wonderful God led program available to the children of Ohio!
In July we will be having a Yard Sale to help with the cost of having our Sunday Celebrations, as well as to help build up the Building Fund. We are hard at work preparing, planning and collecting donations for the sale. If you would like to donate any items to this cause, please contact us to let us know and please stay tuned for the date and location details on this!

You can hear uplifting messages on this great link. Make sure to check back, as more
are to come as we build up this particular ministry. We are planning taped studies and discussion groups. Some of the ideas we are considering right now for future tapings are a multi-denominational study and
conversation, as well as a dialog between men and women on various Biblical subjects and applications. If you have any ideas on what you'd like to hear, we'd love to hear from you!Mentor's Inspirations
This is my personal favorite
spot on the site to visit, as it's full of down to earth inspirational messages. Pastor Jim Mullett of Hillside Chapel in Jackson, Ohio is my childhood Pastor, mentor and friend. I wanted to post these on our
website to let you in on the inspiration that God places around you every day. I enjoy these inspiration notes he writes every Sunday, and they're just too good not to pass on, so with Pastor Mullet's permission, I am
pleased and blessed to be able to share them with you.CrossPRAYER Daily Coverings

Merriam-Webster OnlineWRONG WAY, DEAD END, 4 WAY-STOP, ONE WAY, NO U-TURN; These signs we pass on our highways and neighborhood
streets give us direction on our way to an event, to work, back home, to school or to church…no matter where you are traveling, there are always signs to direct your path. But are they just really road signs? Or could
they be spiritual road signs too? I believe that God can use anything to get his message to you to help you stay on that right path.
I know what life at a crossroads is and at that point in my life, God showed me the signs that he placed in front of me to help me out of the dead end I was heading towards.
My friends, I don't care what it is that you may be going through, God has a sign for you that will help to bring you out of your predicament or pain! In God's Word, He says that He is no respecter of persons, so
what he did for me, I know he can do for you…no matter what
you are going through. You may be having problems on your job or you may have been let go from your job. You may be having a hard time in your marriage or maybe you are in a bad relationship. Your family might be acting kinda crazy, foreclosure may be coming soon on your house or you may be looking to buy a house and your credit is bad. You might have aches and pains and sickness in your body.
God has a sign for you. You merely have to look around you and be willing to see and accept it! In Psalms 32:8 He tells us: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide
thee with mine eye." He also says in Psalms 37:23 "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way."
Let God delight in your way! All you have to do is ask. If you struggle in this area, please write to us to sign up for our daily prayer covering and let God direct your path for the rest of your days. May God Richly Bless You and Yours Always, Pastor Cory P. Pariseau
