New Children's Group Started!

New Children's Group Started!

22 December 2011
On the 4th of December we started a new group called: “Vogels” for the 2 year old Dutch
speaking children in Crossroads. We were having more then 30 children in the two crèches
(age 0-2) on a regular basis on a Sunday morning. To ensure the safety of the children we
don’t allow more than 15 children per classroom and we had to start sending children with
their parents away. Not so welcoming!

We started this group in Faith, because we did not and still do not have a full team of
volunteers together. We believe that Jesus wants to welcome the little children, like in
Matthew 19:14, where Jesus said: “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them,
for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” That is why we trust that God will provide to
welcome these children in His body, the church!

The Vogels is a small group with 13 children on the list and around 5 attending each Sunday.
There are many more in the pipeline though, we expect to have 32 at the end of the season.
Together the Vogels will form a small community within the Crossroads community. Each
year they will move up to the next group together.

Do you want to welcome them and invest in this little emerging community? Let us know at
