July 1: Summer Freedom and Fireworks & Baptism at the Crosses
One of my favorite Sundays of the year is coming up, and I want you to join us. On Sunday morning, July 1, each campus will celebrate our nation with Summer Freedom. Our theme is Unity in America. Don’t miss it and be sure to bring others with you.
On the evening of July 1, we will host our annual Fireworks and Baptism at the Crosses on the Pinnacle Hills Campus. It is always a fun night of fellowship and family. But most importantly, we celebrate baptism under the crosses with many who have come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior. If you would like to be baptized on that evening, you can find more information here. Following baptisms under the crosses, we will enjoy a premiere fireworks show. It will be a night you will not forget.
LIVING FIT
I am excited to be able to share my newest book with you. It is entitled “Living Fit: Make Your Life Count by Pursuing a Healthy You”. Many believers think that each part of life is compartmentalized, and this is just not the case. Understanding how all areas of your life can be brought under the Lordship of Christ is important to every Christ follower, and I really believe this resource will help guide you. For your convenience, we will have copies available for purchase on our campuses on Sunday. Cross Church Family, let’s live fit!
Our Summer of Living BY FAITH Continues
Last Sunday was the official kick-off of our Summer Program of Giving. Our entire summer at Cross Church is about living 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. Will you live BY FAITH with us this summer?
Our series on Romans continues this week with “When Faith Dies.” You can read Romans 1:18-32 to get a preview of the message. Join us and bring a friend with you.
See You Sunday,

Dear Cross Church Family,
Will you lead the way in helping Cross Church remain strong this summer? During the challenge of irregular attendance over the summer months, we experience some of our most pressing financial needs during the 15 weeks between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Honoring God with at least the first tenth of all He has given us each week is critical to seeing our church operate at an optimum level this summer. Regardless of where you are, consistency in your giving each week can ascend the ministries in our church.
Your individual commitment is the key to success in reaching our church’s summer goal of $6 million. When thousands of us, BY FAITH, honor God with at least the first tenth weekly, whatever level our resources may be, we will see this budget goal reached. Last year we reached our budget goal. This summer we have an extraordinary, God-sized challenge. With everyone’s help, we can meet this challenge. As well, $200,000 of this $6 million will go to summer scholarships for all of our church camps. BY FAITH, our budget goal will be $6 million over the 15 weeks from Memorial Day Sunday, May 27, through Labor Day Sunday, September 2.
BY FAITH, please commit with us now: Each week, I will honor God with at least the first tenth of all God gives to me this summer. Some of you may want to join Jeana and me in using recurring giving. It can be automatically drafted from your account weekly. You can change it anytime you desire, but it simplifies the process when our schedules are challenging. You can learn more by visiting our website at: www.crosschurch.com/give.
Thank you for joining us BY FAITH in leading the way! We can do this together!
