This Week at Cross Church | Do Not Miss This Sunday!
Sunday Morning, July 1: Summer Freedom Sunday!
This Sunday morning is a fantastic opportunity to bring someone with you to Cross Church. On each campus, we will be thanking God for the religious freedom we have in America, praying for our nation, and coming together in unity for the cause of Christ throughout America. Please bring a friend to Cross Church on Sunday morning!
Sunday Night, July 1: Baptism at the Crosses
If you have placed your faith in Christ alone for your salvation and determined to follow Jesus but have not yet followed Jesus in baptism, Sunday night is a great opportunity. I will be baptizing each person personally. We will meet in the Pinnacle Hills Worship Center at 6:30 p.m. to go over instructions prior to baptisms. If you would like to be baptized on Sunday night, go here to find out more information and sign up.
Sunday Night, July 1: Fireworks at the Crosses
Join an estimated 10,000 people as we gather at our Pinnacle Hills Campus for fellowship, music, some patriotic moments honoring every veteran present, a testimony of faith by observing baptism at approximately 7:00 p.m., and conclude with Northwest Arkansas’ most dynamic fireworks celebration! I am telling you, if you have never joined us in person, please join us! It is a relaxing and enjoyable time.
You can bring your own food or purchase from food trucks and vendors. We will begin to gather in the late afternoon with fun music beginning at approximately 5:00 p.m. You can come at the beginning and stay the entire evening or arrive any time in between. Just do not miss it!
Please Watch this 4-Minute “Standing on the Promises” Video
This past Sunday morning, I shared a 4-minute video message with each campus entitled, “Standing On The Promises.” Please take a few moments to watch and share it with others. It is an encouragement to our Cross Church people about what the Lord is doing and is about to do through our church.
Be Faithful in Giving This Summer
Wherever you are in America or across the world, Cross Church will still be worshiping, praying, going, reaching, and discipling people daily and weekly. This is why we request that each summer, our members make a 15-week commitment: Wherever I am in this world, I will give to God through my church each week, at least the first tenth of all God has given to me.
You can do this through recurring giving, give a gift online, bring it with you when you are here, or mail it when you are not here. We enjoy using recurring giving. It is one of the great ways to give because it is drafted from our account weekly, and we can easily adjust it as God leads and provides. Thank you for being faithful in giving this summer.
See You Sunday,

This Week at Cross Church | Don’t Miss July 1
Summer Freedom Celebration
On the morning of Sunday, July 1, each Cross Church campus will present our annual Summer Freedom Celebration. This year, our theme is Unity in America. We will celebrate our nation and call out to God to forward unity in our land. I know you will enjoy it, so do not miss it.
Baptism & Fireworks at the Crosses
In the evening following our Summer Freedom Celebration, we will gather as a church family at the Pinnacle Hills campus to fellowship together, observe baptism, and enjoy a premiere fireworks show. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets, and come spend the evening with your church family.
We will have a great time together, but most importantly, we will observe baptism under the crosses with many who have come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. I will have the privilege to baptize that evening, and if you are interested in being baptized, you can find out more information here.
Following baptisms, we will experience an incredible fireworks show. With all of these special things, this is one of my favorite days at Cross Church. I know you will not want to miss it. Join us!
Summer Camps and VBX
In just a few days, our high school students leave for Beach Camp. Will you be in prayer for them? Not only for their safety while they are away, but for lives to be changed either by meeting Jesus for the first time or experiencing life-changing growth in their relationship with Christ.
Middle School Camp is coming up in July, and there is still time to register your student. And do not miss VBX at all Cross Church campuses for your children who have completed grades K-5. You can find information and register for your campus here.
Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane
One of the highlights of our trip to the Holy Land on July 5-14 is the privilege we have to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jeana and I would be honored to pray over your specific requests. If you would like for us to pray for you, email a one-sentence request and your name to israel@crosschurch.com.
BY FAITH
Our Summer Program of Giving continues as we live our summer BY FAITH. If we all are faithful to weekly give the first tenth of all God entrusts to us, we will meet and even exceed our $6 million need for the summer. This ensures we will be able to continue reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world during the busy summer months. Thank you, Cross Church for rising to this challenge each year.
See you Sunday,
