Good Friday Service
A Time to Remember & Reflect
Join us at CrossView Church as we come together to remember Jesus's sacrifice on the cross. Good Friday is a deeply meaningful day when we pause to recognize the love that led Jesus to give His life for us.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." — John 3:16
Our service will include:
- Sharing communion together as a church family
- Taking time for personal reflection
- Remembering what Jesus's death means for each of us
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." — Isaiah 53:5
Upcoming Sermon
CrossView Church warmly invites you to join us this Easter Sunday, April 20th, at 10:00 AM for a special Resurrection Day celebration!
Celebrate the Resurrection at CrossView Church
Pastor James Wychers will deliver his message titled "What is Faith that Saves?" which explores the encounter between the risen Christ and Thomas in John 20:24-29.
In a world filled with doubt, what does genuine saving faith look like? Come discover how Thomas's journey from skepticism to belief speaks directly to our lives today.
Experience the joy of Easter as we celebrate Christ's victory over death and explore what it truly means to believe without seeing.
Bring your family and friends as we worship together and reflect on the transformative power of Easter faith.
CrossView Church, Sunday, April 20th, at 10:00 AM
"Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - John 20:29 20:29
Bible Memorization
We are focusing on memorizing key Bible verses corresponding to Pastor James’ sermon series “The Unfolding Gospel.” Memorizing Scripture is an excellent discipline for spiritual growth that allows us to focus our minds on God’s Word and so enrich our spiritual lives. This month we will be memorizing 1 Corinthians 15:54-57.

Fuel Youth Ministry Update
Our FUEL youth have been working hard to organize "Plates of Appreciation" – a thank-you meal for our local first responders.
On May 17 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., they'll be serving lunch to police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and their families in our gym. This is entirely a youth-led initiative. They're handling all the cooking, serving, and activities for the kids who attend. It's their way of showing appreciation to those who keep our community safe, while also learning what it means to serve others. While we're excited to share what they're doing, this isn't an event they need additional volunteers for or one the congregation is being asked to attend.
The youth have it covered, and they're eager to take ownership of this service project. If you know any first responders personally, please feel free to let them know they're welcome. Please keep our youth in your prayers as they step up to serve our community in this way.
