Confirmation Sunday- Aug 30
On Sunday, August 30th Elaina Johnson, Kariana Palmer and Stella Gillen-Rexroad will be presenting their final projects during worship. Make sure to tune in and check out their creativity with paint, thread, and more. Avery Gillen-Rexroad also completed the confirmation year but will not be presenting a project. We will be praying over all four students during worship.
Crosstown App Tutorial- Notifications
It's great to see 93 people download the Crosstown App! Can we pass 100 by Sunday?
This week the special feature is Notifications. This is a great way to receive updates from church. We promise to use them for special things and not to inundate you. For example, this week we sent a notification requesting people to write notes of encouragement to our confirmands.
Please turn on your General Notification setting. ✔️
If you aren't down with notifications coming to your phone you can also see these posts in your App Inbox under the MENU icon.

Dear church family,
Thank you so much for your care and love through this difficult time as we had to say good-bye to our dear Jimmy; husband, father, dear Gramps and Papa, brother and dear friend. We miss him terribly but we know he is with his Lord that he loved and served so faithfully. We have been encouraged by your notes, memorials, food, phone calls and virtual hugs and love! God is good...all the time! Thank you for blessing us!
