5 Things to Avoid When Going for Crossover Service.

  We all pray our way into the new year with hope and gratitude.

Crossover service in Nigeria is a big deal! It’s that special night when churches are packed, voices are lifted in praise, and we all pray our way into the new year with hope and gratitude. But while the excitement is real, it’s also important to stay safe. Here are five things to avoid so you can enjoy the night without any hiccups.

📌 1. Don’t Go to a Church You Don’t Know

This isn’t the night to be adventurous with your church choice. Stick to a church you know well, where you’re familiar with the setup and people. Big gatherings can be overwhelming, and it’s better to be somewhere you’re comfortable and safe. Plus, you’ll probably see familiar faces, which is always nice!

📌 2. Don’t Arrive Late

Nigerians love showing up in large numbers for crossover services, and if you’re late, you’ll be stuck finding parking or squeezing into the back rows. Get there early to avoid the rush, grab a good seat, and soak in the atmosphere without feeling frazzled. Bonus: You’ll miss that “fashionably late” stress!

📌 3. Don’t Ignore Security Tips

Safety first! With big crowds come big responsibilities. Keep an eye on your personal belongings, know where the exits are, and stay alert. If you’re bringing kids, make sure you’ve got a plan in case you get separated—some churches even hand out wristbands for kids, so check for that.

📌 4. Don’t Bring Too Much Stuff

Leave the bling and big bags at home. The fewer valuables you carry, the less you’ll have to worry about. Just stick to the essentials, your phone, wallet, and maybe a small bag. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself when you’re not juggling a million things while singing “Silent Night.”

📌 5. Don’t Forget Your Transport Plans

If you’re driving or using public transport, sort it out early. Parking can be chaotic, and buses or cabs might be scarce after midnight. If you’re driving, park in a well-lit area, and if you’re getting a ride, make sure it’s sorted before the service ends. No one wants to be stranded after shouting, “Happy New Year!”

Crossover night is all about joy, reflection, and stepping into the new year with high hopes. Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll have a smooth, memorable night. Here’s to a safe and blessed crossover into the new year!
