July Sunday Classes | Sundays, July 5th-26th | 8:45-9:45am | Alverno Classrooms
Please note our regular Sunday text groups are pausing this month while we host these two class offerings:
Evangelism Class: Want to grow in sharing your faith but not sure where to start? Join us for a discussion-based class. We’ll talk honestly about the challenges of evangelism, learn from Scripture, and encourage one another in taking practical steps toward gospel conversations. Together, we’ll explore what it looks like to make Jesus known in everyday life.
Getting to Know CrossWay/ Membership Class: Want to learn more about CrossWay and what we believe? At CrossWay, we believe it is the Biblical pattern and privilege for every believer to publicly join themselves to a local church. If you are not yet an official member of CrossWay, we would highly encourage you to attend this class to learn more about our church and what it means to become a member. Sign up here or at the Resource Table on Sunday.
Prayer Meeting | Friday, July 10th | 7:30-8:30pm | Finks’ Home/ Zoom
This prayer meeting will focus on our church, our city, our state, our nation, and the world, including a persecuted church or an unreached people group. Everyone is welcome to join us in person or virtually on Zoom.

Sermon Materials
This Sunday’s Sermon | Hope for Exiles (Daniel 1) - Dan Allen
Current Series | Daniel: God’s Kingdom through Exile
The prophet Daniel and stubborn Israel was exiled to enemy territory. Yet Daniel wrote to declare that God still reigns over all and His kingdom will never be thwarted. God is with His people, and He will bring His kingdom to the nations through their exile. It’s a message Christ-followers need today, living as exiles on our way to a better country, God’s consummated kingdom (1 Pet. 1:1; 2:11; Heb. 11:13-16; 13:14).
