Crosstown Priorities: Heartfelt, Multi-Generational Worship–

(This is the 1st of a 3-part series highlighting our congregational priorities).

Sunday worship at Crosstown is focused on God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We celebrate God’s presence with us and in us through worship that is engaging and participatory. Worship at Crosstown will include moments of joy and lament, celebration and silence, encouragement and challenge. Whether worshipers are 8 or 88 years of age, we rejoice in being together as the multi-generational people of Jesus Christ. We want to live-into the words of Psalm 100. “Shout for joy to the LORD all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness and come before him with joyful songs.” Our hope is that through worship we encounter the Living, Risen Jesus and that each person leaves our gathering with a sense of, “I met Jesus today!”

Passing of Sherm Harris

We are saddened to pass along the news that our dear friend in Jesus, Sherm Harris, passed away on Thursday, April 27 at the age of 96. A celebration of Sherm’s life will take place at Crosstown on Saturday, June 3 at 11 AM and will be followed by a lunch. This will be a joy-filled opportunity to rejoice in the gift of Sherm’s impact on so many friends!
