This Week at Cross Church | Moving to Communion, Christmas Eve, and 2015

This Sunday in all of our services, we will observe communion with the Lord’s church. It will be a powerful and meaningful experience. I would urge you to sit with your family. If you have a friend who does not have family here, ask them to sit with you this week.

I will lead us in a time around the Lord’s Table, in what we call The Lord’s Supper or communion. We have two ordinances in our fellowship. One is baptism and the other is The Lord’s Supper. Prayerfully, both will be celebrated in each of our services this Sunday. You can see here what we believe about the Lord’s Supper and Baptism.

Pray for Sunday. Pray for yourself. Prepare yourself and your family spiritually. Let’s pray for a special time of worship, reflection, and celebration together.

7 Christmas Eve Services Offered by Cross Church

We hope one of our Christmas Eve service times will work for you and your family. While we always encourage our people to attend their normal campus on Christmas Eve, we realize that a time at a different campus might work better for your family. Please choose a time and join us for one of our seven services.

Dress for the services is whatever your family is accustomed to wearing for Christmas Eve, whether it’s dressy or casual. Below is a list of our services offered on Christmas Eve.

• Chapel on the Creeks – 1:00 p.m.
• Fayetteville – 3:30 & 5:00 p.m.
• Springdale – 4:00 p.m.
• Pinnacle Hills – 5:00 p.m.
• College Avenue – 5:00 p.m.
• Neosho – 5:00 p.m.

Invite others to our Christmas Eve services and share through social networking. We want all of Northwest Arkansas to feel at home at our church on Christmas Eve.

As We Move to 2015

As we move to 2015, let’s insure we leave 2014 right with God and right with others. Ask yourself these three questions:

1. Is everything in your relationship with God clear and right? Insure all sin is confessed and repented of, moving forward to the future.
2. Is all right with God financially? Insure you have honored God with at least 10% of all He has entrusted to you in 2014 through your salaries, bonuses, stock and dividends, and all other matters. Through our local church and its Ministry Budget, we should give the first tenth of everything to the Lord. A special way for you to join in reaching the world for Jesus Christ is to give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. This offering directly helps in funding our full-time missionaries around the world. Also, consider giving to the Reaching Our Mission offering, which allows Cross Church to commit even more to our mission efforts regionally, nationally and internationally; as well as supporting church planting and our own Cross Church School of Ministry.
3. Are you right with others? Do not leave 2014 with resentment, anger, or bitterness towards someone else. It hurts you more than it hurts them. If you have been hurt, forgive, and move forward. Choose to be right with God and with others.

If you are in town on the Sundays of December 21 or 28, be sure to be in worship. Attending worship reminds us of the meaning and power of Christmas. I sure hope to see you here soon at Cross Church.

Yours for the Great Commission,

Ronnie W. Floyd
