This Week at Cross Church | SUNDAY IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE AND HERE’S WHY
Sunday will be absolutely incredible and special. Why?
Graduating 15 From Cross Church School of Ministry
We are graduating our second class from our Cross Church School of Ministry. Our one-year ministry residency prepares leaders for life, ministry, and gospel advancement globally. Congratulations to these men and women, as well as our President, Dr. Jeff Crawford, for his leadership. Pray for those God will lead here for our next class that begins the end of August.
Licensing Ten for Ministry
This Sunday we will license ten men for ministry. We are recognizing they have been called of God and ready to engage in study, preparation, and ministry around the world. We praise God for these men! Cross Church is a sending church!
Dr. Frank Page Will Be With Us
One of Southern Baptists’ and evangelicalism’s great leaders will be with us this Sunday. Dr. Frank Page, President and Chief Executive Officer of our Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee and former President of the Southern Baptist Convention will be preaching. I look forward to introducing him and listening to him declare God’s Word. He is a great scholar and minister of the gospel, as well as a dear friend. Dr. Page will bless and minister to you. He is also an author and his recent book is entitled Melissa: A Father’s Lessons from a Daughter’s Suicide. Please join me in this special experience.
Cross Church Worship at The AMP is August 9 at 5 p.m.
Following dynamic worship services on all of our five campuses on the morning of August 9, we will come together at The AMP at 5:00 p.m. and gates will open at 4:00 p.m. Although the sun should be lower by this time, you should dress casual for warm weather. Last summer the service was powerful and we had a large crowd. What a great opportunity to invite someone not connected to Jesus or His church. We will worship, pray, celebrate, and preach God’s Word. Do NOT miss Cross Church at The AMP.
August 23 is Kick Off Sunday
Mark your calendar and do NOT miss Sunday, August 23, on any of our campuses. On this Sunday, we will all re-engage in Small Groups and Worship Gatherings.
Now is the Time to Lead,

This Week at Cross Church | 4 Requests to Consider
Series Continues Sunday 
This Sunday, we will continue our series called We Believe: What We Believe and Why We Believe It. This Sunday’s message will be communicated creatively. We believe you will find it highly engaging and I cannot wait to share this experience and message with you.
2015 SBC Recap Video: Now is the Time to Lead
I encourage you to sit down for 10 minutes and engage in this incredible video produced by our highly gifted media and communications team. This video is a recap of the 2015 Southern Baptist Convention that occurred in the beautiful city of Columbus, Ohio. Please watch it and share with others.
Catch Up in Your Summer Giving
I realize we have people who have been all over America and the world this summer, but your church has been fully engaged in ministry. In fact, last Sunday we shared what God has done in the first several weeks of the summer. You can watch the video here. Please catch up on your giving. As of this moment, we are behind in our summer giving need, while three weeks ago we were ahead. So let’s end July caught up. If you have been away, please make up your giving this Sunday, mail your gift to the church office, or give online here.
Be Praying for Our Summer Staff Advance That Begins on Monday
Jeana and I will be leading our 28th consecutive summer Staff Advance next week. It is a fully engaged time of inspiring, equipping, and igniting the vision of our team. Please join in praying for us next week. We have asked our Cross Church Circle to pray in this way:
“Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it.” Colossians 4:17
- Ask God to focus our team on the ministry entrusted to them in the Lord, so they can accomplish it.
- Ask God for the power of the Holy Spirit to be upon those leading and investing in our staff team: Pastor and Jeana Floyd and other members of our Cross Church staff; Dr. Jason and Karen Allen, President and wife of Midwestern Seminary; and Dr. Steve Dighton of Lenexa Baptist Church in Kansas City.
- Ask God for our team to resolve together that God has great things in store for our Cross Church Family and our future together. May our team and their families be faithful to Jesus and His mission completely, leading the way for our people.
Thank you for joining us in prayer.
