“The hopes and fears of all the years” intersected at Bethlehem in the time of Herod. Even today, we continue to experience fearful times in a frightened world. Yet we still insist on hope and trust that Good News is greater than fear. Join us this season to experience and celebrate Jesus Christ, our light in the darkness.

Come experience how Crossroads celebrates the birth of Christ and the hope He continues to bring to the world!
