Binge Past Christmas at the Movies 

Whether you’re around the dinner table, in the car, or cozied up by the tree, your family still can connect with God in meaningful ways. Make sure to get your magnet from Kids’ Club the weekend of November 30. 

Put the magnet somewhere the whole family can see and scan the QR code when you're about to engage in one of the Christmas activities on the magnet. Then you'll be given a short prayer to help you and your family connect with God and each other.

If you miss a chance to pick up your magnet, find the prayer prompts at [https://www.crossroads.net/kc-prayer-moments]

Be the Difference: Volunteer

Why does A Christmas Story still hit after all these years? 

In Part 3 of Christmas at the Movies, we uncover why this classic connects so deeply and how it points to the heart of Christmas itself. Beneath the nostalgia is a powerful truth: God isn’t a taskmaster, He’s a giver. From childhood longing to the Christmas story in Scripture, this message explores what it means to trust a generous Father.

What would you ask God for this Christmas if you really believed He was good? 

Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Christmas at the Movies: The Series Finale

¿Por qué A Christmas Story sigue tocándonos el corazón después de tantos años? En la Parte 3 de Navidad en el Cine, descubrimos por qué este clásico conecta tan profundamente con nosotros y cómo apunta al verdadero corazón de la Navidad. Debajo de la nostalgia hay una verdad poderosa: Dios no es un capataz exigente; es un dador generoso. Desde los anhelos de la niñez hasta la historia de la Navidad en las Escrituras, este mensaje nos invita a reflexionar sobre lo que significa confiar en un Padre bueno y generoso. Si de verdad creyeras que Dios es bueno… ¿qué le pedirías esta Navidad?

Grabado en vivo en Crossroads Church en Cincinnati, Ohio.
