Flood cleanup at Crossroads Church turns into powerful examples of faith and community in action Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- When floodwater swept through Seguin on Saturday, Crossroads Church was among the many places hit hard by the heavy rains. But just one day later, the church became a symbol of resilience, teamwork, and the power of community. That’s according to Natalie Avalos associate pastor of Crossroads Church. Avalos says the church couldn’t help but be forced to put out an urgent call for help late Saturday afternoon. In a social media post, church leaders wrote: “URGENT FLOOD RESPONSE TEAM NEEDED Crossroads Family & Friends – We Need You! Due to the heavy rains, our church building experienced significant flooding. We’re rallying today at 4 p.m. to clean up and get Crossroads ready for Sunday... Let’s be the church—together we’ll clean, dry, and prepare our space for worship. If you can make it, come ready to serve, sweat, and stand in
the gap for our house.” She says what happened next was just incredible. That’s because she says dozens answered the call. Volunteers arrived with wet vacs, mops, fans, and willing hearts—some traveling from as far as New Braunfels and Kyle to help. They worked quickly to dry out the building in time for Sunday’s worship services, which would be especially meaningful, as Crossroads planned to honor veterans in a big way with Seguin’s own Veterans Color Guard team. Avalos says the moment was a moving reminder of what it truly means to be the church. “To every person who showed up with wet vacs, fans, buckets, towels— and big hearts—THANK YOU,” she wrote. “Because of your quick response, servant spirit, and teamwork, our building is drying out and WILL be Sunday-ready to worship and serve our community. You lived out the words of Galatians 6:2 — Crossroads, pg. 3
