Last Sunday to sign up for Groups

Click on the picture below to enlarge your view of the available Groups this fall. Last names have been blocked out online because...well...not everyone on the internet needs to know everything about the leaders! Sign up @ CrossWalk this Sunday.

New Groups launch Oct 2

It's possible to attend CrossWalk on Sundays, leave, and never really build relationships in our church family. If you desire to get to know others or study the Bible deeper than Sundays, you'll benefit from plugging into a small group. Doin' life together happens better in smaller groups where we can get connected to each other, meet each others' needs and become more like Christ. This fall we will offer 6 session & 9 session groups.

Sign-ups on September 18 & 25

Ideas for Sabbath

“Stopping weekly creates space to refuel.”

Enlarge your view of God
Get a good devotional you read only on your Sabbath
Go to the zoo and marvel at God's creativity
Spend extra time with God, reading the Bible or praying
Meditate on or memorize a Bible verse
Sit still and mull over how awesome God is
Listen attentively to worship music

Reflect on your life
Journal about what God is teaching you
Read that book you've been wanting to read for a long time
Create or revisit your life goals
Do a jigsaw puzzle while you think about life

Exercise your body
Walk the dog
Go for a bike ride
Go for a hike and fill your senses with God's creation
Have a water gun fight
Take a nap

Invest in your Relationships
Call someone you haven't talked to in a while
Fly a kite
Draw pictures with sidewalk chalk
Play Capture the Flag
Run through the sprinkler
Stargaze
Find animals in the clouds
Go camping – get away from your routine and immerse yourself in God's nature
Take a walk downtown and get ice cream at the end
Write a letter to a long-distance friend


Careful! It would be easy to make your Sabbath over-busy with activities and then it becomes one more day to run, rather than stopping to create space for refueling.

The key is to discover what refuels your soul tank.

This will be different for each of us according to the unique way God created us. Most important is to walk with Him and let your refueling time flow out of your relationship with Him.

If you are considering recharging activities with friends or family, have a brainstorming session and write down your own ideas.

Enjoy the gift of rest God offers you!
