CHURCH AND UNDERAGE DRIVERS

Guys, I am so grateful that Crossroads has been blessed with such a talented and dedicated team of staff, leaders and volunteers in our children's ministry. There's nothing like top quality, age-appropriate ministry for children to provide a solid foundation for a growing church.  From the Filling Station to Big Wheels Pre-School and Peek-A-Boo Nursery, Crossroads majors on your children. It's a privilege and an honor to serve the WHOLE family!

That said, it looks like one church in Utah needs to do some re-evaluation of their children's ministry.  Check out this real-life story. Funny, and frightening at the same time.

PLAIN CITY, Utah -- Police in Utah say a 7-year-old boy led officers on a car chase in an effort to avoid going to church.

Dispatchers received reports of a child driving recklessly in Sunday morning. Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson says one witness said the boy drove through a stop sign.

Anderson says two deputies caught up with the boy and tried unsuccessfully to stop the Dodge Intrepid in an area about 45 miles north of Salt Lake City. The car reached 40 mph before the boy stopped in a driveway and ran inside a home.

Anderson says when the boy's father later confronted him, the boy said he didn't want to go to church. The boy is too young to prosecute and no citations were issued, although police did urge the father to make his car keys more inaccessible to children.

Here's to making sure YOUR kids WANT to come to Crossroads!!  See you Sunday!!!
