New message series starts this December!

Discover CrossWalk.

November 7 12:15-1:15 pm - Fusion Room
If you have questions about who we are, where we’re headed or what we believe, start with Discover CrossWalk. Sign up on your Connection Card this week.

It's time for 2010's Operation Christmas Child (OCC).

We are so excited to send shoeboxes around the world that give needy children wonderful gifts along with a message of hope about Jesus Christ. So check it out....here are some dates to remember:

CrossWalk: Everyone can bring their filled shoeboxes to CrossWalk Oct. 31st - Nov. 21st. Let's try and reach the goal of packing 250 boxes this year. That's about one box for every adult. Last year 7.9 million shoeboxes were distributed around the world!

CrossWalk Kids and Families: Mark your calendars for Nov. 13th at 6:00. Your kids have been working hard on getting enough supplies to fill over 50 boxes. We will see if we reached the goal on that night. We are going to have an awesome night packing our boxes together. It's going to be fun for the whole family!

New Message Series starts this Sunday...
When Life Hands You Lemons...
Pain is as inevitable as it is unwelcome. As much as we might like to insulate our lives against suffering, it creeps in anyway. So, knowing that pain will come, what should we do when it arrives? Do we ignore it? Do we curl in a hole until it goes away? Do we steel ourselves and fight? Join us as we explore God's model for responding to pain - and finding hope to make it through to the joy on the other side of pain.

New July series

Judgment Call



Most of us are familiar with Jesus’ instructions not to judge others. But what exactly did he mean? Are we supposed to look away when a close friend or family member is doing something dishonest or immoral? Are there times when it is wrong not to judge?

In this four-part series, Andy Stanley tackles this confusing and often misunderstood topic. We learn the steps to take before confronting others—and how to react when someone judges us.

CrossWalk Picnic @ Memorial Park - July 11th











How much chicken should we buy for the CrossWalk picnic on July 11th? You can help us figure it out this Sunday.

Please write down on your Connection Card this Sunday (June 27th) if you/your family are planning to attend, how many will be attending and if you'll be eating fried chicken with us (Just write the word chicken and the number of people. Example - "CHICKEN - 3"). In addition to chicken, we will also be providing free chips, drinks and Antietam Dairy ice cream.

If you don't care for chicken, feel free to bring lunch for you or your family. You can pack your own, go to Subway, McDonalds, etc. and bring it back to the park. Lunch will start at 11:45.

What else do you need to know?
- Please bring chairs or blankets to sit on during lunch. We won't have many tables.
- Bring your favorite outdoor game

Join the discussion

We are talking about "Soul Revolution" on our face book page. Check out the "Discussions" tab and join us.

Did you get your Soul Revolution book? We have roughly 16 left for sale this Sunday ($8). After they are gone, they are gone! So…first come, first served. FIGHT NICE!

Love Revolution

In June we are focusing on Loving God. Our June messages will challenge us to receive God's love and love Him back in new ways, including something called the 60-90 challenge - you'll hear more about that in coming weeks.

We are also offering a cool book (at cost - $8) called Soul Revolution that we can read together through the summer that will help you figure out what next steps to take. Pick one up this week.

DISCOVER CROSSWALK - June 6th

Sign-up on your Connection Card to find out what makes CrossWalk tick. June 6th... right after church.

Cardio & Connect

Lame-o name… but a great opportunity! It’s a great way to get to know others @ CrossWalk during the month of June and get in shape.

Each Sunday evening in June, meet @ the church parking lot @ 7pm and join others on a walk or run. It’s a fun and simple way to get exercise and connect with others. And if you have the time afterward, you may want to spend some extra time with your new friends @ Memorial Park or wherever you choose.

Train for a race? Me? This could also be a great opportunity as part of your training for the Waynesboro Jubilee Firecracker 5k run on July 4th weekend. Set a goal to complete the race and start training now. It would be great to see a bunch of people from CrossWalk running in the Firecracker! There is also a 1 mile fun run with kids before the 5k race if you would like to do that with your family instead.

SERVE THE WORLD

If you were at CrossWalk on Sunday, you heard that we want to hear from you about "Serve the World" opportunities in our communities. Do you have an idea? Submit your ideas for our church-wide community outreach in August.

Email your ideas this week! info@crosswalkchurch.net

New message series Easter Sunday!

Life comes at us hard sometimes. Storms wreak havoc. Illness beats us down. Spiritual pressures mount. At times we stoop under the pressing load and just want to shout "enough already!" Where do you go when stress hits? What you need to know is that the pressures you face are nothing new - the friends and followers of Jesus experienced the same kinds of trials. And the same Jesus is alive and well and wanting to meet you in your time of need. Come hear some amazing stories of the power of Jesus to bring us through the worst life has to offer.

Webster defines a ritual as "a ceremonial act or action or an act or series of acts regularly repeated in a set precise manner."

Let's face reality: rituals, especially in church, can get pretty boring and meaningless. We can go on "auto-pilot" without the slightest idea (or concern) why we are doing what we are doing. Over the next two weeks at CrossWalk, we are going to celebrate two essential Christian rituals, communion and baptism, with a look back as to why these practices are so much more than routine. Join us and find new meaning in ancient rituals.

Help Samaritan's Purse continue to provide relief to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

Whether you’re single, married, or hoping to marry, God has something to say that you need to hear!

Group 1 - Men
Guides: Craig & Allan

Where: Church

Where: Teresa's home, Waynesboro

HAITI NEEDS OUR HELP!

The catastrophic earthquake in Haiti has left thousands dead and many more struggling to survive. The devastation is truly heartbreaking. It is in the face of such tragedy that God calls us to action. A chance to Serve the World. There are two ways we, at CrossWalk, can help:

1. PRAY - "...The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:16. Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti, and for the rescue workers and first responders who are trying to assist them.

2. GIVE - These next three Sundays (January 17th, 24th and 31st), we will be taking a special collection for the people of Haiti. Special offering containers will be at the back tables for your chance to give above and beyond your normal offering. The money will be given to Samaritan's Purse to help provide the basic necessities of food, water, medicine and shelter. Any amount that you could give will surely be a blessing. We will combine your special offering with some additional contributions from our missions fund.
