Help Us Make Quilted Hugs! The quilting group and the care team have joined forces for a project to provide love and care to people in crisis in our congregation, by making “Quilted Hugs”.  These hugs are fleece lined shoulder wraps that are quilted with beautiful colors on the front and are a way for our church family to know we are thinking of them, praying for them and that God is wrapping his arms around them as they go through difficult times.  A sample of a quilted hug is pictured here. Please come Friday, April 20 or Saturday, April 21 from 10am-4pm each day to help in preparing materials and assembling these quilts.  You can come and go throughout the day as your schedule allows and you do not need to have quilting or sewing experience to help.  Our goal is to make 24 quilted hugs for distribution to our congregation, but we cannot do this project alone.  We hope that you will join in the experience of bringing love and joy to our church family. If you know ahead of time which day(s) you are coming, please call or email the office or note the days on your connection card in worship.  This will help us plan space and materials needed each day.  However, please still come either or both days regardless if you have a chance to sign-up in advance.   We look forward to working on this project with you! Contact the church to let us know your coming by clicking the button on the right or calling the office at (608) 849-9599 or emailing us at hello@crossroadswaunakee.org!

For four years, we have coordinated the Cindy Anhalt Scholarship. Scholarships have been awarded to recipients in Waunakee (where Cindy taught) and Waukesha (where Cindy grew up).  The scholarships have ranged from $500 to $1,000. Up to this point, we have relied entirely on contributions.  This year we are running a fundraiser during Waunakee Garage Sale days on Thursday, May 10 and Friday, May 11.  It will be held at Crossroads.  The fundraiser will include a bake sale, rummage sale and silent auction. The silent auction and rummage will include some items from Cindy’s parents home.  Quilts, dishes and Christmas themed items are among the items in the silent auction.  We hope you’ll have a chance to stop by. Calling all bakers:  We could use your help with donations for the bake sale.  If you are willing to help, we will accept baked donations on Wednesday, May 9 at the church.  Tammy Hribar will be at the church during the day to accept donations from noon until 5 p.m.  The church will be open again in the evening during choir practice after 7 p.m. We appreciate your help with baked goods, your attendance during the sale and your prayers. FYI – the Scholarship is being awarded on Wednesday, May 9 in Waunakee in the high school PAC.  The awards presentation for seniors begins at 6:30. This year we are presenting two $1,000 scholarships in Waunakee. Thank you. Tammy Hribar, Laura Streator and Deb Harman
