June Mission – Crossfire:Faith+Gaming

Crossfire:faith+gaming is an online ministry (and now a series of in-person summer camps) meant to reach nerds, geeks, and gamers of all ages. Crossfire's online community gathers weekly in an online voice chat and throughout the week in text chats on a Discord* server. Crossfire also produces a podcast, YouTube channel, and live-streaming Twitch.tv* channel. The goal of Crossfire is to help reach generations of people who have felt left out of the church and this ministry often reaches people who have left the church due to church hurt or not feeling like they belong.

In 2023, Crossfire expanded its ministries to include an in-person Summer Day Camp. Now, in 2026, this camp will cover multiple sessions across the front range of Colorado and two cities in Montana. Crossfire Camp is not your typical camp. Crossfire is a whole new camp for a whole new generation of camper. At Crossfire Camp, the kids play games, explore their nerdy side, deepen their faith, and explore the place where faith and pop-culture combine.

As a new ministry reaching an unreached group of people, Crossfire relies mostly on the generous donations of organizations, churches, and individuals to make its ministries possible. Thank you for supporting this vital ministry and supporting the discipleship journeys of youth and young people in your region.

Crossing the Threshold

Call to Worship
CLM Twinkle Gordon

Leader: Tell us the stories of Jesus. Today, we will hear of a woman with a persistent challenge and even more persistent faith.

People: We come carrying our burdens, our wounds, and our longing to be healed.

Leader: In the crowd, Jesus saw the one who felt unseen and call to her.

People: We come to the One who knows us, welcomes us, and restores us.

Leader: Come and worship the Christ who meets us where we are. This is the day that the Lord has made.

People: We will rejoice and be glad in it.

*Threshold Song
Tell Me the Stories of Jesus
UMH #277
WORDS: William H. Parker, 1885
(Mt. 19:13-15; 21:8-9; Mk. 10:13-16; 11:8-10; Jn. 12:13) 
 
1. Tell me the
stories of Jesus
I love to hear;
things I would ask
him to tell me
if he were here:
 
scenes by the wayside,
tales of the sea,
stories of Jesus,
tell them to me.
 
*Hymn
The Gift of Love
UMH #408
WORDS: Hal Hopson, 1972 (1 Cor. 13:1-3)
© 1972 Hope Publishing Co.

1. Though I may speak
with bravest fire,
and have the gift
to all inspire,
 
and have not love,
my words are vain,
as sounding brass,
and hopeless gain.
 
2. Though I may give
all I possess,
and striving so
my love profess,
 
but not be given
by love within,
the profit soon
turns strangely thin.
 
3. Come, Spirit, come,
our hearts control,
our spirits long
to be made whole.
 
Let inward love
guide every deed;
by this we worship,
and are freed.

Scripture Reading
Mark 5:25-34
CLM Twinkle Gordon

Now there was a woman who had been suffering from a flow of blood for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians and had spent all that she had, and she was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, for she said, “If I but touch his cloak, I will be made well.” Immediately her flow of blood stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my cloak?” And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” He looked all around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

Prayer for Illumination

Leader: May the words of my mouth,
People: and the meditations of all of our hearts
All: be acceptable in your sight, O Lord our rock and our redeemer.

The Lord’s Prayer
      
Our Father 
who art in heaven, 
hallowed be Thy Name; 
 
Thy Kingdom come. 
Thy will be done 
on earth 
as it is in heaven. 
 
Give us this day 
our daily bread, 
and forgive us 
our trespasses, 
 
as we forgive those
who trespass against us. 
Lead us not 
into temptation 
but deliver us from evil. 
 
For Thine is the Kingdom, 
and the Power 
and the Glory forever.
Amen

*Closing Hymn
Blest Be the Ties That Bind
UMH #557
WORDS: John Fawcett, 1782
 
1. Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship
of kindred minds
is like to that above.
 
2. Before our Father’s throne
we pour our
ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes,
our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
 
3. We share
each other’s woes,
our mutual burdens bear;
and often for
each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
 
4. When we asunder part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still
be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
 
*Benediction
