This Week at Cross Church | God is Using Cross Church 21 Days of Prayer
God is Using Cross Church 21 Days of Prayer
What started as a Cross Church prayer initiative for our people has now gone above and beyond through the power of technology. What we are finding is the initial engagement in the mornings at 6:30 CT via Facebook Live or call-in by phone, is multiplied in a major way the rest of the day. People from all across America and some across the world are joining us. On the day before each text is sent out, I pray and seek God about our focus points for this day. The three areas these points are built upon are: personal, the Church and America. They are simple, clear, and helpful to provide us a way to pray individually and together. Therefore, if you are not engaged with us, please join now. Spread the word to others. Post on all social media. Here is just one example of what we have done daily.
Engage with Our Church Weekly
It is really important that you engage with our church weekly. Sure, it helps the church be the church, but it also helps you to walk with God with a greater intentionality and a greater intensity. Engage with your spiritual family through a specific worship service, a small group, giving, and a service opportunity. Remember, we do what we do because we believe people need Jesus, people need each other, people change the world, and people leave legacies.
Invite Others to Our Church Weekly
Inviting others to be with us weekly is so important. Everywhere you go, listen to people, talk to people, and as God opens the opportunity, invite others to be with us weekly. You never know what God will do in the lives of others when they experience the atmosphere of worship, the preaching of God’s Word, and the community of a spiritual family. God wants to use you to change someone’s life. It may begin with one thing: An invitation from you to another person.

This Week at Cross Church | Start 2018 Right
Start 2018 Right: Be in Church on Sunday
The first Sunday in 2018 is upon us. Start 2018 right by being engaged in worship on Sunday. As well, make sure you are in a Small Groups as they kick-off for the year. We have no idea what will come our way this year, but we do know that we need God. We need to seek Him. We need to worship Him. Each Sunday at Cross Church, we offer eleven services on our four campuses. You can find locations and times here. I really hope you will start 2018 right!
We are in 21 Days of Prayer
I realize many of you have been trying to get on top of your new year at work and in the family. I get it! Let me encourage you to join us as we observe 21 Days of Prayer in our church. You can be engaged with us by calling in to listen or join us on Facebook Live for no more than 20 minutes each morning at 6:30. You can also go to our Facebook page and watch the videos from previous days. Tell your friends. Engage with us. God is using this to create a massive commitment to prayer in our church and beyond.
Year-End Giving was Record Breaking
To God alone we give glory and we thank you for coming together to create history in our church by giving in a record-breaking way. What we can do together far exceeds what we can ever do alone. This includes record-breaking year-end giving to our Ministry Budget, which is the bread and butter of what we do daily. Thank you, Cross Church Family! Many who were away for Christmas will make up in their giving this week, as well as those who missed last Sunday due to winter weather challenges. Let’s start out 2018 in an obedient way by honoring God with at least the first tenth of all He has given to us through our local church. We are on a pathway to be debt-free sometime in the year 2020 or before… the more we give to what God is doing here, the quicker this debt-free pace will occur.
