This Week at Cross Church | I Love My Church Day, February 14
After 29+ years as Senior Pastor of Cross Church, I can say with conviction that you are an amazing church. I love my church!
This coming Sunday is I Love My Church Day. What a fun and exciting day for each of us to enjoy and experience. Invite others now to join us this Lord’s Day!
Sign Up Now for the NWA Men’s Conference 
Jack Graham, Ted Traylor, and Steve Gaines are God’s men! This is why I have asked each of them to come speak to us on this subject. We need godly men to step up in our homes, workplaces, and our nation. Our 2016 Northwest Arkansas Men’s Conference begins Friday evening, February 26 and concludes at noon on Saturday, February 27. You can sign up now. Do not minimize the importance of these hours. It WILL make a difference in your life. Invite other men to join you.
Pray for America
These are interesting times in America. Each day it seems something new is unfolding. As we participate in these days, let’s remember that we need to pray for America. I have recently participated in many different settings where we have spent time praying for our nation. Take a few minutes this week, and perhaps even gather a few friends to pray for America.
Place These Dates on Your Calendar: June 14-15, 2016 
For the second year in a row, we will be leading the Southern Baptist Convention in June. Our meeting this year is in St. Louis, Missouri. Please make these days a matter of prayer beginning now. Anyone can attend our Southern Baptist Convention, and the closer location this year might afford more people the opportunity to do so. It would be a joy to have you spend Tuesday and Wednesday with us, learning, being challenged in your spiritual life, and having your vision to reach the world expanded.
When the Southern Baptist Convention concludes on Wednesday afternoon, June 15, my tenure as president of our convention will end. I am humbled and overwhelmed with this opportunity of service. I have enjoyed it all. Thanks for praying for us and for praying me through to the end.
See You Sunday at Cross Church, the Church We All Love!
