This Sunday at CrossView Church
The Blessing and Wonder of the Baby
Mary's “yes” to God changed everything—not just for her, but for all of us. When the angel came with news that seemed impossible, she responded with trust, and then hurried to share her joy with Elizabeth. In that moment between two cousins, something beautiful happened: recognition, blessing, and a song that still echoes today.
What does it mean to recognize God's work in unexpected places? How do we respond when we see His promises unfolding in ways we didn't anticipate?
Gather with us this Sunday as we reflect on these questions in our sermon, "The Blessing and Wonder of the Baby."
This is part of our Advent series, "Good News of Great Joy," walking through Luke 1:1-2:21. Whether you're a regular part of our church family or visiting for the first time, we'd love to have you join us.
Bible Memorization
Each month we encourage our CVC family to memorize a scripture passage. Let's commit Luke 2:8-10 to memory this month! Join us in hiding God's Word in our hearts.

ADVENT
As Christmas approaches, we will focus on Jesus’ birth story and the saving gospel during our services. To help prepare our hearts to worship him, starting next Sunday, the Everyday Gospel Christmas Devotional by Paul David Tripp will be available for your family. This advent devotional includes twenty-five readings designed to help you connect Scripture’s transforming power to your daily life. May each day’s reading bring you and your family closer to Jesus as you look forward to Christmas Day. Donations for the book will be accepted to support the Fuel Youth Group’s Winter Retreat.

Invite your family and friends and join us on Wednesday, December 24 as we recount the wonder of God’s great gift to us!
