This Sunday at CrossView Church

INFO FOR PARENTS

To give our faithful Children’s Ministry workers a much-deserved respite, there will not be Nursery or Children’s Church on Sundays December 28 and January 4. Busy bags will be available in the foyer for your children to use quietly in the sanctuary during the worship service. For parents with infants and younger toddlers, the Baby Care Room (across from the sanctuary) will be open with the worship service streaming on the monitor in that room. Any questions, please see Pastor Kyle Pratt.

The Jesus-Centered Life

The Jesus-Centered Life sermon slide

We all know the difference between genuine and fake—whether it's a knockoff product or a forced smile. But what about our own lives? Are we producing real fruit, or just putting on a good show?

Jesus taught that good trees bear good fruit, and that what's in our hearts will eventually reveal itself. So here's a question worth considering: What kind of fruit is your life producing? And more importantly, what's the condition of the roots?

Join us this Sunday as we explore these questions in our new sermon series, A Gospel Ministry Paradigm. Pastor James Wychers will be speaking on "The Jesus-Centered Life" from Luke 6:43-45.

Scripture Memorization

Each month we encourage our CVC family to memorize a scripture passage. Let's commit Proverbs 4:20-23 to memory this month! Join us in hiding God's Word in our hearts.
