This Week at Cross Church | Easter Weekend
Easter weekend is here! We are preparing to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord this weekend at Cross Church, and we want you to join us and bring someone with you.
16 Services on 5 Campuses 
Family time is important, and our Cross Church Family is no exception. If you haven’t already, make plans to be with our Cross Church Family this weekend! Cross Church has 16 services on our 5 campuses this weekend to accommodate holiday schedules and guests. I want to encourage you to attend the campus you normally go to. You will be greeted by familiar faces and experience a service focused on celebrating the resurrection of Christ.
Let Our Church Be Your Church 
Who have you invited to attend Easter services with you? There is still time. It’s as easy as saying, “Let our church be your church this weekend.” Even if you or your friends are out of town for spring break, do not let that stop you. We have e-vites and social media images you can use to invite someone to come with you.
Be Faithful in Your Financial Support this Month
During this busy spring season, we must all remember to remain faithful in giving from all the Lord has entrusted to us. Sometimes it is a challenge when traveling, and why I am a firm believer in recurring giving. You can set up regular giving or even just a one-time gift. Our financial gifts allow Cross Church to further our mission of reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ. We are all part of this when we give!
I’ll see you this weekend, Cross Church. Who are you bringing with you?

This Week at Cross Church | Passion Week Begins Sunday With the Lord’s Supper
This Sunday, as part of our worship to the Lord, teaching God’s Word, and praying together, we will also participate in the Lord’s Supper, one of the dynamic ordinances in our church. On our website, you can discover what we believe and practice about what some call communion. Historically, we call it the Lord’s Supper. Please prepare your heart spiritually for this experience and let’s join together in unity, making this first day of our Passion Week meaningful.
Passion Week is Different This Year 
For the past three years, we have hosted daily luncheons where we taught about Passion Week, the last week of Jesus’ life, culminating with a Friday evening experience with the Cross Church Choir and Northwest Arkansas Symphony. Due to Passion Week in 2016 being spring break for our local schools and universities, we altered our plans this year. Our Easter in the Community events will still occur, but the luncheons and Friday night experience will not. If you would like more information on Easter in the Community, contact Clint Smith at clints@crosschurch.com.
We Will Offer 16 Services on Our 5 Campuses on Easter Weekend 
Please help us get the word out about our 16 services on Easter weekend. I want to encourage you to attend your normal campus. As you move forward with making this a special weekend in your life and family, make it special for others also. Invite them to one of our services. The locations and times are listed here.
Let Our Church be Their Church This Easter Weekend
Our communications team has done an excellent job producing these commercials for television and social media, as well as graphics and e-vites. Help us share them on social media and by sending a link through text message or email. It takes all of us inviting and bringing guests to make Easter a powerful day at Cross Church and in the lives of people.
Be Faithful in Your Financial Support During This Month
If you are away for spring break or even Easter, be sure to remain faithful in giving to our Cross Church Family. Our ministry runs at an optimal level whether we are here personally or not. This is why I am such a firm believer in recurring giving. Whether one is present or not, regular giving still occurs. Join us in this method of giving, give a one-time gift online, or make up missed giving before or after your trip. We believe in what God is doing at Cross Church and it takes all of us walking in obedience to the Lord’s Word to see it done. Blessings to you as you give.
Now is the Time to Lead,
