CVC News & Announcements

This Sunday at CrossView Church

Marriage can be one of the deepest sources of joy in our lives and also one of the places where we experience real pain and hard questions. Jesus doesn't shy away from either.

What does it look like to take marriage seriously, even when it's difficult? And how do we hold onto grace when relationships fall short of what we hoped for?

We'll be exploring these questions this Sunday in our sermon, "Whoever Divorces His Wife," as Pastor James Wychers continues our series Life in the Kingdom of God with a look at Matthew 5:31-32.

Whether you've been part of CrossView for years or you're checking us out for the first time, we'd love to have you with us this week.

Our service begins at 10 a.m. Learn more at Plan Your Visit.

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS

Adult Sunday School resumes Sunday, August 30 with facilitator Dan Mikal. Join us through the end of the year for a Christian Topics Video Series, featuring God of Wonders, The Biography of Dwight L. Moody, The Privileged Planet, and more. Each session includes prayer, a video, and group discussion. All are invited!

CHILDREN’S CHURCH TEACHER MEETING

Please make it a priority to attend this special meeting for all Children’s Church teachers and (a couple of aspiring teachers). We will meet after the worship service (11:45am-ish) in the Senior Children’s Church room, S4/5.

Lunch will be provided.

If you want to bring your assistant (especially if you are married to them) please do! In this meeting, we are going to walk through preparing a lesson, accessing ministry grid resources, and ways to communicate the lesson to young children.

If you are unable to be at this meeting, please contact Pastor Kyle to set up an alternate time. 

SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION

Let’s Hide God’s Word in Our Hearts

Each month we encourage our CVC family to memorize a scripture passage. This month we are memorizing Matthew 5:43-46.

BAPTISMS AND FAMILY FUN DAY

Baptism is a beautiful picture of the gospel given to all believers. If you have questions or are considering taking this next important step in your faith, please contact Pastor James.

Baptisms will take place at 4:00 p.m. at Promised Land Park in Trevor, WI in their ‘crystal clear spring water’ pond. You are invited to bring a picnic dinner for your family and join in as our church family celebrates baptisms and fellowship together! After the baptisms, we will eat and then enjoy the many amenities at Promised Land Park. Visit the Promised Land website at www.promisedland.com for more details about their park. 

(You do not need to sign up and there is no cost to attend.)

FIND COMMUNITY

One of the values CrossView Church strives to be is a loving church family in which we find regular community. Therefore, we offer different kinds of groups for men and women. These groups help build healthy relationships, experience personal and spiritual growth, find accountability, and provide support for our spiritual journey. If you are interested in exploring this kind of community, please speak with one of the pastors or call the church office. 

Please check our website Event tab or calendar for other CVC happenings.
