This Week at Cross Church: Mother’s Day Pictures, Global Missions Day, and More!

This coming Sunday, May 12, and the week following will be comprised of some powerful and meaningful moments in the life of Cross Church. I am talking about “game-changer moments” and spiritual memories that will be with you for life. Let me bring you along.

Moms, bring your families -or- Families, bring your Mom on Sunday!

On Sunday morning, May 12, before or after worship services, we want each Mom to have her picture made, free of charge, with her family. Mother’s Day is always a special day at Cross Church and this Sunday will be no exception. Take advantage of this opportunity! Come early or stay after worship, whichever works best for your family. Many photo stations will be available on each of our campuses to expedite the process. Please note that we are closing down each photo station five minutes before worship begins and will reopen them following worship. Moms, bring your families! Families, bring your Mom!

Fabulous, visionary preaching will happen this Sunday!

The trustees of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention will be meeting in Northwest Arkansas during the week of May 12. Therefore, an opportunity has been afforded us to make May 12 a powerful, exciting day – a day we are calling Global Missions Day. We are honored to have guest preachers on each campus and I assure you that you will hear some incredibly powerful preaching relating to global missions and the Great Commission.

Do NOT miss Wednesday Night, May 15 — A once in a lifetime experience!

On the evening of May 15, at 6:30 p.m., Cross Church Pinnacle Hills will host the appointment service of 58 missionaries that will serve around the world through the International Mission Board. These are our missionaries! On this evening, you will hear from Dr. Tom Elliff, President of the International Mission Board, and witness the appointing of 58 missionaries that will serve in countries around the world. At present, the SBC has nearly 4,900 missionaries serving internationally. Again, these are our missionaries as we support them financially through the world missionary enterprise of Southern Baptist churches called the Cooperative Program.

It is incumbent on each of us to insure that our families are present at this once-in-a-lifetime experience! This appointment service will be held at our Cross Church Pinnacle Hills campus but all campuses will engage in the experience and you will want to be a part of it. Please note that all other Wednesday evening events will be cancelled at each of our campuses to ensure that all of our people can attend the appointment service.

Pray now and all week for what is before us

Cross Church family, we need to pray diligently and earnestly for these upcoming days. They should not be regarded as “irrelevant to me.” If worshipping the Lord, celebrating family, sending missionaries out, and honoring the Great Commission are not relevant to you, then you are in critical condition spiritually. Pray for the days before us and I’ll see you then.

Yours For The Great Commission,

Ronnie W. Floyd
