Habits of Grace
Simple rhythms for enjoying Jesus - It’s not about doing more but about making space.

We will be exploring spiritual disciplines as simple rhythms for enjoying Jesus. We will look at disciplines in our faith that are not about making us do more or accomplish more but actually allow us to enjoy time and space with Jesus.

Hope in a Box - All of Lent

Food is essential for everyone. When these needs aren’t met, life becomes much harder—and challenges that might otherwise be manageable can feel impossible to overcome. At Crossview Covenant, we believe God calls us to care for one another, especially those facing difficult circumstances.

That’s why we partnered with Community Covenant to create Hope in a Box: a simple way to support people in our community and remind them they are not alone—that someone sees them, cares for them, and believes they can make it through whatever life brings.

This year, we’re partnering with ECHO Food Shelf to expand this effort.

To make it easy for more people to participate, we’re extending Hope in a Box throughout the entire season of Lent (February 18–April 5). You’re invited to purchase boxed food items and bring them to church. Each Sunday, a trailer will be parked outside Rosa Parks where you can drop off your donations. AND because it's part of the March drive, all donations are matched!

At the end of the season on April 11, 2026 we’ll gather together to decorate the boxes with stickers and messages of love and hope before they’re delivered and you can stick around for lunch.

We look forward to serving our community alongside you and sharing God’s love through these simple acts of kindness.

Believer Baptism Class

Sunday, March 15, after both our 9:00am & 10:30am services

On Sunday, March 15 we will be offering our believer baptism class after our 9:00am and 10:30am service. Baptism will take place on Sunday, May 17 at our 10:30am service (we go to one service for the summer starting this day).

Believer baptism is for those who haven't been baptized and would like to make a profession of faith in Jesus to the church family. If you are interested in taking this significant step of faith and being baptized on Sunday, November 16 at our 9:00am or 10:30am service please fill out the form below.

If you have any questions please contact the church office at 507.387.5606.

Prayer & Worship Night and Chili/Soup Cook-off

Wednesday, March 18, 5:30-7:15

Join us for our Prayer & Worship Night AND Chili Cookoff Fundraiser on Wednesday, March 18!

Do you make a great chili or soup? We would love for you to share it with us!

We will begin our evening with a chili/soup meal from 5:30-6:30 and end our night with a prayer and worship time from 6:30-7:15 with hot cocoa and cookies after.

This event and the registration fee ($30) is a great way to help raise money for our youth for different events, mission trips and activities.

We will not have Wednesday Night Ministry this night.

Stations of the Cross - Friday, April 3 from 7:00am-6:15pm
Good Friday Service - April 3 at 6:15pm
Easter Sunday Services - April 5 at 9:00am & 10:30am

Palm Sunday

Sunday, March 29 at 9:30am & 10:30am

Join us at Crossview for our Palm Sunday Service (with a palm parade for the kids) at both the 9:00 and 10:30am services. We will have kids ministry for Nursery - 6 grade.

On the first Palm Sunday, Jesus chose to enter Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. This event marked the beginning of the final week of his life, known as Holy Week. As Jesus entered the city, crowds gathered, waving palm branches and laying them on the road before him, shouting "Hosanna!" This act fulfilled the prophecy in the Old Testament about the Messiah entering Jerusalem in this manner. However, Jesus knew that his entrance would ultimately lead to his arrest, trial, and crucifixion. Nonetheless, this momentous event symbolized Jesus' role as the long-awaited Messiah and demonstrated his humility and commitment to his mission of salvation.

Stations of the Cross

Friday, April 3 - 7:00am-6:15pm

The Stations of the Cross is a series of 8-14 artistic representations or devotional stations commemorating the events leading up to and including the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. These stations typically include Jesus' condemnation, carrying of the cross, falls, meeting with his mother Mary, and crucifixion, among others. Observing the Stations of the Cross is a common devotional practice for Christians during Lent, Holy Week, and particularly on Good Friday, as it allows believers to reflect on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus for humanity's redemption.

The Stations of the Cross will be available in the Great Room on Friday, April 3 from 7:00am-6:15pm. You are welcome to come and go as you please.

Good Friday

Friday, April 3 at 6:15pm

Our Good Friday service invites all ages to think about Jesus' love, sacrifice, and death on the cross (no kids ministry or nursery). The service will be in person and online.

Easter Sunday

Sunday, April 5 at 9:00am & 10:30am

There are many who believe that Jesus was a really good leader and teach but they find it hard to believe in the resurrection. Even some of Jesus disciples were skeptical of it and they saw him face to face. These skeptics would actually become the witnesses and leaders of a new movement: the church. They would maintain their faith through incredible pain and suffering. Many of them died claiming that Jesus was their Savior. So what are we to make of this crazy and hard to believe event - the event that became the foundation of their faith…and ours?

This Easter, we invite you to experience more than just a tradition. As we remember Jesus’ victory over death, we’re called to reflect on how His resurrection impacts our lives today. The resurrection isn’t just an event of the past—it’s the beginning of new life for all who choose to follow Him. It’s a story of hope, transformation, and the assurance that death no longer has the final word. Whether you’re just beginning your faith journey or have walked with Jesus for years, Easter reminds us that through His resurrection, we too are invited to experience new life. How will you respond to that invitation?

Nursery and PreK ministry will be available. We’ll have activity bags for the older kids and they are welcome in the Easter service (We also have TV’s in the lobby if the kiddos get too squirmy). We’ll have an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids after each service.

Hope In a Box - Celebration

Saturday, April 11 at 10:00-11:30am

Food is essential for everyone. When these needs aren’t met, life becomes much harder—and challenges that might otherwise be manageable can feel impossible to overcome. At Crossview Covenant, we believe God calls us to care for one another, especially those facing difficult circumstances.

That’s why we partnered with Community Covenant to create Hope in a Box: a simple way to support people in our community and remind them they are not alone—that someone sees them, cares for them, and believes they can make it through whatever life brings.

This is the event where we will gather together (on April 11) to celebrate and decorate boxes with stickers and messages of love and hope before they’re delivered. After we're done decorating, you're invited to stick around for lunch. The location is TBD so please watch for more details.

Small Groups

Join a group today and grow in your faith and community tomorrow.

God has designed each of us to connect with other followers of Jesus. We can help lift one another up when things get tough, celebrate with each other during good times, and grow in our faith together. Small groups are one of the best ways to do this! You don’t need to be an expert in the Bible to be part of a small group - whether you are new to faith or a long-time Jesus-follower, small groups are for you! These groups regularly meet in places like coffee shops, living rooms, and kitchens.

Finding a Small Group

We would love to help connect you with a Small Group. To join a group, click on the "Find a Group Here" button below. Need more help, then click on "Small Group Interest Form" and we'll help you find a group that works for you. You can always Contact Pastor Libby Englehorn.

Volunteer & Make a Difference

One of the best ways to get connected is by serving!

We value not just growing in our faith but doing something with our faith! Serving within the walls of this church and (even more importantly) going out into the community and the world is a vital part of what God created us to do. When we serve and volunteer we are being Christ followers by doing what He did. It is how we show the world what the love of God is like. We serve inside and outside of the church, Sundays and all week long.

Take a Next Step and “Go Deeper”

We want everyone who comes to Crossview to connect to Jesus Christ. We do that by taking steps on our spiritual journey in four different areas of our spiritual lives in worship, community, serving, and giving generously. Jesus wants to work through us to bring hope and healing to our neighbors, friends, and those on the margins. Wherever you are on your faith journey, there is always a next step and a way to "go deeper." Connecting to Jesus transforms us, our families, neighborhoods, city and world!
