This Week at Cross Church | Attending the National Prayer Breakfast Today
Today, Jeana and I are in Washington, DC, attending the National Prayer Breakfast. This prayer breakfast occurs annually and is hosted by members of the U.S. Congress. Approximately 3,500 people attend, including invited guests from 100 countries. This year is truly special as one of our own Senators, John Boozman, is co-hosting. Every president since Dwight Eisenhower has attended this breakfast. Usually, the President speaks for a period of time and perhaps this year, we will hear President Trump.
Student Day is February 5
This Sunday is Student Day at Cross Church! This is a huge day in our ministry and will be preceded by the Student Conference on Friday night and Saturday. But Sunday is the big day! Invite and bring students with you to Cross Church.
I Love My Church Day is February 12
What a special day awaits our fellowship on February 12, I Love My Church Day. On this day we observe annually, we focus on inviting and bringing adults to both Small Group and Worship. What is important about this day?
- Invite people to Small Group and a worship service experience.
- Invite people who do not know Christ personally.
- Each pastor will be preaching a message that is focused on calling people to faith in Christ, a truly focused morning to draw people to Christ for salvation.
- Invite Cross Church members you know have not been attending consistently. Let’s invite every member who has not been present since January 1 of this year. Let’s strategize and get this done to God’s glory!
Are you ready to make this day special? I sure hope so!

This Week at Cross Church | Get Your Eyes on February 12… Why?
Join us Saturday Morning from 9:00-10:00 a.m. at One of Our Five Campuses
21 Days of Prayer concludes on Saturday, January 28. On this day, we will have a major prayer and worship Celebration Service on each of our five campuses. This will be from 9:00-10:00 a.m. Dear friends, make the choice to join us. I look forward to being part of this 21st day of prayer. Let’s ensure that on this Saturday, we will see Cross Church become a house of prayer for all the nations!
Get Your Eyes on Sunday, February 12… Why?
There are two reasons February 12 is highly significant and your attendance is critical. First, this is our annual I Love My Church Day, a day when we do all we can to move every church member to be in worship with us and prayerfully, also a small group. If you are a Small Group leader, a choir member, a mission leader, or a First Impressions leader, this is the Sunday we work diligently and strategically to get our people here. Second, we are notifying everyone right now: On February 12, the message will be focused on a strong message of salvation, calling people to follow Jesus. Therefore, this is THE Sunday to do all you can to bring someone with you to worship that does not know Jesus Christ personally. Pray. Invite. Bring.
Reaching Our Mission
Whether you use a weekly giving envelope or use online giving weekly, there is a line item designated for Reaching Our Mission. We have asked our people to give something above their first tenth to the Reaching Our Mission offering. This offering provides funding for our Cross Church School of Ministry, church planting nationally and internationally, and additional missionary support. When you get a chance, consider joining us in giving over and above weekly, even if it is $5 a week. Find your level of giving and know that when we do this over 52 weeks, it adds up. You can give here right now. And most importantly, always remember that our missional vision here is: Reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ.
