Jeff Crawford is Preaching on Sunday, March 12, His Last Day at Cross Church

Jeff-twacc

This Sunday, Jeff Crawford will be preaching at our Springdale and Pinnacle Hills campuses. He has served as President of the Cross Church School of Ministry and Teaching Pastor. Recently, we informed our church via email that Jeff has accepted the pastorate of Grace Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, and March 12 is his last Sunday on our team. For those of you who have enjoyed hearing Jeff preach, this will be your final opportunity to hear him before they move to Knoxville. I asked him to share his story as an illustration in our message this past Sunday. We taught on, “My Plans versus God’s Plans” so watch here if you were away. We do love and appreciate Jeff and Julie Crawford and their family, and we will miss them greatly. I was asked to introduce Jeff via video to the congregation of Grace Baptist Church when he preached in a view of a call. You can watch it here.

Move Your Clocks Forward 1 Hour on Saturday Night

Time Change-twacc

Yes, this is Time Change Sunday… the difficult one! You must move your clocks forward 1 hour before you go to bed on Saturday night so you can be ON TIME to church for Sunday, March 12. Please remind your friends, Bible study groups, choir and band groups, and leadership teams to turn their clocks forward 1 hour on Saturday night.

Children’s Day Was Special

Kids Day-twacc

This past Sunday on each of our campuses, we observed Children’s Day! It is always such a special day as preschoolers and children flood into the classrooms and experiences here at Cross Church. I am so thankful for our staff team who minister to these groups along with the dynamic laypeople who serve the Lord by ministering to children weekly. So many of these people are not in our personal view each Sunday, but they minister to families by loving, teaching, and ministering to children weekly. To each of you 1,000 thank yous!

Passion Week and Easter Weekend are Being Planned in Detail Now

Over the past two weeks, we have spent a lot of time planning and preparing for Passion Week and Easter weekend at Cross Church. Yes, it is a few weeks away, but put Passion Week and Easter weekend on your calendar now: Sunday, April 9 through Sunday, April 16. More details will come in the near future. Right now, begin praying for this experience and ask God who in your neighborhood or circle of influence He desires you to invite to come to one of our services on Easter weekend with you. We will offer 15 services on April 14-15 on our five campuses. There is a place for them somewhere.

Now is the Time to Lead,
