This Saturday, join Crossroads as we head into Chicago for a great time! We'll have dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, enjoy the city Christmas decorations, take in some games at the ESPN Zone, and perhaps make a visit to the Ghiradelli Cafe! It's New Year's Eve done right!

When: Meet at the church, in the south parking lot. We'll leave at 5pm, and return around midnight.

Cost: Bring enough money for dinner, dessert, and whatever you'd like to spend on games at ESPN Zone. If you'd like to get a free game gard, worth about 6 games, sign up for their mvp club here (read details first). To look at the menu at Hard Rock Cafe, click here.

RSVP isn't necessary, but to help in our planning, if you know you're going, please let Jon Brooks know. Jon's e-mail: jonbrooks@oakcreekag.org.

Enjoy the great food and atmosphere of the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago!

After dinner we'll head off to the ESPN Zone, which features games for every taste, including bowling.

This next Wednesday get into the city for Christmas fun like only ice skating can provide! Invite your friends home from college, and afterwards we'll catch up over dessert and coffee.

Mandigo and Supita to Wed July 1, 2006!

Back in November, a highly secretive meeting took place at a mid-level steak joint in Green Bay. That meeting, between Greg Mandigo, right, and Joel, the father of Jamie Supita, initiated a chain of events that culminated in a great announcement this past weekend. Greg Mandigo and Jamie Supita to wed on July 1, 2006! Congratulations, and may there always be 'sparks'!

Lessons from the Grinch and the 3 Wisemen

Join us this Wednesday for the last Crossroads of 2005! We'll look at the example of the Grinch, along with the 3 Wisemen, and what they teach us about becoming more like Christ! Plus, $3 bowling at classic lanes at 9:30, so get in your sleigh and head on out.

Everyone survived the roads to make it out to the Crossroads Christmas party on Saturday. Our first stop was at the Brooks', where we had appetizers. Here my mom takes a break from the kitchen.

Our second stop of the night was at the Gudelsky's, where we ate lots of lasagna! It was delicious. Thanks 'mama G'!

Hannah, Rachel & Aaron allow the lasagna to digest while resting on the couch.

Jamie & Joanie enjoy listening to Greg telling more jokes.

Jay, Bret, and Jen enjoy each other's company.

Ziek, the Ditzer's dog, provided clean-up after dessert. He appears to like the job.
