Crossview recognizes that beginning Kindergarten is a significant milestone, and we want to celebrate with your kindergartner by giving them a Crossview Kids Prayer Bear at the end of the worship service. This small stuffed animal is a reminder that, just like the Prayer Bear, God is always close by and there to comfort them.
Children are invited to bring their backpacks to church for a special blessing during each service! We want to help them remember that Jesus loves them and is always with them. Each child will receive a “backpack blessing” tag to put on their backpack (handed out in Crossview Kids programming) and we will have extra tags available at the Connect Desk for parents, grandparents, and teachers who want a reminder to pray for the faith of these children).
After each service, stop by the Cafe for ice cream treats!
Join us on Saturday, May 4, as we walk, run, and stroller for clean water in the Congo! You are part of a global movement - last year over 48,000 people participated in the Global 6K, which meant more than 48,000 people gained access to life-changing clean water. Praise God!
Here are some important details about the Global 6K at Crossview:
Schedule for Saturday, May 4

9:30am - Global 6K begins (see the course map here)
Remember to wear your Global 6k t-shirt and pin your bib on your shirt. Pray for that child and consider sponsoring them! Did you know that by sponsoring a child you also help 4 other children have opportunities for access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene, education, protection from sex trafficking, childhood marriage, and genital mutilation, and so much more?!? Instructions to sponsor your child came in your packet or we can help you do so on Saturday.

Thank you for changing the lives of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo!
6 kilometers is the average distance that people in the developing world walk for water—water that is often contaminated with life-threatening diseases. On Saturday, May 4, 2019, thousands of participants from around the globe will walk or run 6k to bring life-changing clean water to communities in need. Each participant's registration fee provides life-changing clean water for one person, so when you participate in the Global 6K for Water you take that 6K distance away from people in need.
