This Week at Cross Church | Thank You, Cross Church
Thank You for Making Sunday Great
I want to thank you for making last Sunday great at Cross Church. In each mission ministry, worship ministry, and small group ministry, thank you for bringing your 1, making Sunday a day of mass participation and attendance. May God continue to grow His church, Jesus’ church!
Thank You for Being a Leading Church
Two weeks ago, I shared how our Cross Church Family is helping lead our Southern Baptist Convention in giving. Yesterday, I wrote an article designed for pastors, but one I think you will learn from as well. Please take a moment to read it here. A brief reminder why we have determined to lead strongly as one of over 47,000 churches giving through our Cooperative Program:
- It is more about mission than money
- It is more about unifying us than dividing us
- It is more about working together than working alone
- It is more about our church than our convention
Yes, I am so glad we are involved in partnering with over 47,000 other churches to advance the gospel across our state, nation, and the world.
Will You Consider Joining Me?
I have been asking you to consider joining our staff and me for one and one-half days next week, October 29-30, helping us advance a strategy of prayer for America. It is right here in Northwest Arkansas, held at our own Cross Church Pinnacle Hills campus.
You can register here. But I also want to point you to what I wrote about this event in greater detail this past Monday. I really hope you will join me. I especially do NOT want you to miss the moment on Tuesday morning, October 30, when I reveal the theme for the 2019 National Day of Prayer.
This powerful and compelling theme could be embraced and forwarded through an estimated 200 denominations and just under 400,000 churches in America, the leaders in each of our 19,510 incorporated places in the United States including cities, towns, and villages, as well as through each of the 3,142 counties across America. When you hear and see it, I think you will agree. I believe it is a theme that any person from any walk of life will be able to embrace.
Please join me next week. Pray for me. I am praying for you.
See you Sunday,
Ronnie W. Floyd

This Week at Cross Church | Prioritize This Sunday, October 21
Will You Prioritize Being Here on Sunday, October 21?
From mission ministries to worship ministries to small group ministries, we are asking you to join in mass participation and attendance on one of our four campuses on Sunday, October 21. On this day, we will preach the gospel clearly, simply, and evangelistically with the ultimate cause to call men, women, boys, and girls to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We will also welcome Sadie Robertson from Duck Dynasty on all three of our Northwest Arkansas campuses.
Will you pray now about Who’s Your 1? Who is the 1 person you will invite, pray for, and bring with you? Who is the 1 who needs to come to Christ and be saved? Bring them to Cross Church on October 21. It is a major day for mass participation and attendance! Each of us is THE KEY to this day being a great day for the Lord and His Church! Let’s make this a fantastic day for our great Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
Will You Join Me at Our National Prayer Summit on October 29-30?
Will you consider taking off work for one and one-half days so you can grow in learning to pray more effectively along with a few hundred lay leaders and pastors from across America? Will you come learn with me and with our entire Ministry Staff Team and Cross Church School of Ministry? We will be there participating and learning together. Will you join us? I promise you, we have made this worthy of your time and effort. Come grow with me! Everyone must register, so please register here: http://www.nationaldayofprayer.org/leadershipsummit2018
Will You Support Cross Church by Giving Financially Weekly?
On the first day of October, we began our new Ministry Budget. The Ministry Budget goal this year will be $20,800,000. I pray you will join us in practicing and living out first tenth giving and generosity weekly. This is imperative for each of us in our walk with Christ, but it is also a blessing for Cross Church.
Our ministry has much before us. So many depend on this ministry and we depend on the Lord together to meet all these needs through Cross Church. Remember, one of our highest financial priorities by the end of the year 2020: for Cross Church to be completely debt-free! We can do this, but one thing that is a non-negotiable in reaching this goal is that we must surpass our budget goal for the next two years, plus have a few extra special gifts toward the indebtedness. This will become an indelible legacy we can leave the next generation of Cross Church. Thank you for joining me in this grand goal. Thank you for doing what you do for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Together, we are placing missionaries all over the globe, planting churches across the world, furthering human flourishing through compassion ministries, and advancing religious freedom internationally. Simultaneously, we are reaching Northwest Arkansas! What a church! What a people! What a missional vision!
Will You Take Two Minutes to Celebrate the Freedom of Pastor Andrew Brunson and His Coming Home to America?
PLEASE read this brief article I released on Monday about this astounding answer to prayer!
See you Sunday!
