Deacon Vote for Eric Wagenknecht
Eric Wagenknecht has been nominated to be voted on for deaconship. You can read our Deacon & Elder Handbook to learn about our understanding of the Biblical office of deacon, as well as CrossWay’s process of deacon nomination, screening, and appointment (see also our Constitution & Bylaws). At this time, we ask that you prayerfully consider Eric according to the qualifications in 1 Tim 3:8-13, and speak privately to the elders with questions or concerns you might have. A congregational vote will be conducted (electronically) from October 2nd - 8th (all members will be emailed a ballot).

Upcoming Events
Gospel-Shaped Cultural Engagement (Training Seminar) | Sun., Sept 3rd-Oct 22nd *EXTENDED* | 8:45 AM | Alverno
How should Christians faithfully engage our increasingly post-Christian culture? Join Kirk for this four-week training seminar and group discussion utilizing Russell Moore's book Onward: Engaging the Culture Without Losing the Gospel. The so-called "foolish" gospel would call us to embrace the “strangeness” of Christianity. Thus, the Christian mission has great potential precisely in a society where a Christian veneer of nominalism is now out of style. Attendees are encouraged to read or listen to the book (find the reading schedule here). But doing so is not required in order to participate.
Fall Park Meet Ups | Tuesdays in Sept. & Oct. | 9 - 11 AM | Blum’s Coffee Garden
Join us every Tuesday morning at Blum's Coffee Garden in the months of September and October. We will be located in the playground area. This park is fenced in and uniquely located at a coffee shop so no need to bring a caffeinated beverage! (They also sell wonderful baked goods.) We will cancel if the temperature is below 55 degrees. Additionally we will cancel if rain is in the forecast. So be sure to check your weather app before running out the door! For questions, feel free to contact Annie Miller.

Sermon Materials
Current Series - The Gospel According to Mark | The Unexpected King
According to Mark, Jesus is the coming King who is bringing God's kingdom. But the sort of King he is, and the sort of kingdom he brings, is quite unexpected. Jesus is a king who suffers and serves. And he calls his followers, the citizens of his kingdom, to do likewise—to walk in his way and carry their cross.
