This Week at Cross Church | Moving Into the Holiday Season
Make a Special Gift to Blessing Baskets This Sunday
Please be sure to give a gift to our Blessing Baskets that is above your regular financial support of this ministry weekly. A gift of $25 will feed one family. While some will only be able to support one family, others can support five, ten, twenty, or many more. We know we need to fund 2,400 Blessing Baskets. Please denote on your envelope beside “Other”: Blessing Baskets or give online directly here. Thanks for demonstrating compassion to 2,400 families this season.
“The Christmas Miracle” is a New Sermon Series That Begins November 18
This Sunday, November 11, our present series will come to an end. For 10 weeks, we have challenged one another to check the gauges of our lives. Beginning on Sunday, November 18, we will begin a new 5-week sermon series from Matthew chapters one and two entitled, THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. This will be a dynamic, expositional series from Matthew 1:18 through Matthew 2:12. We will be talking about five miracles that comprise THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. Invite others to join you for this special series through the holiday season.
Invite a Veteran to Come This Sunday as We Recognize Veteran’s Day, November 11
Each of us knows veterans of our armed services. We are so very thankful for their service to our nation. Please invite a veteran and their family to worship with us this week so we can recognize and honor them.

This Week at Cross Church | Reconnect With Us This Sunday
Reconnect With Us This Sunday
I hope you will reconnect with Cross Church this week through the priority of public worship on the Lord’s Day. Reconnect relationally with a small group. We need one another, and that is one of the reasons being connected to a small group is important. Reconnect by serving weekly, seasonally, or at least annually. There is nothing like a local church, so reconnect with us this Sunday.
Love One Another
On Monday and Tuesday, we had 300 leaders with the National Day of Prayer here in Northwest Arkansas. They came from across America, including Hawaii and Alaska. On Tuesday morning, I released our 2019 theme for the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, 2019. You can watch or listen to this message here. You can download our main graphic here and share it with others on social media. You can also see the National Press Release here. Cross Church, mark your calendar now, key it into your phone: Thursday, May 2, 2019 …The 2019 National Day of Prayer.
Blessing Baskets
For 26 years, Cross Church has been distributing Blessing Baskets to families in need in our community. Our goal this year is to provide a holiday meal for 2,400 families. It may just be a bag of groceries, but it can mean so much more to a family who does not have the financial resources to have a holiday dinner. We are also able to share the love of Jesus, which has more value than anything else in this world.
Go here to sponsor a family or sign up to help with assembly and distribution.
3 Prayer Priorities for America This November
Our nation needs prayer. Our midterm elections need prayer. Our leaders need prayer. We have major issues facing our nation that we need to pray about continually.

See You Sunday, Cross Church,
