Sunday, November 24

at 9:00am & 10:30am

In-Person & On Facebook & ChurchOnline.

Paul encourages the church in Thessalonica to 'give thanks in all circumstances.' But what does that really mean? In the three weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, we're going to dig into what it looks like to practice gratitude—even when it's hard. Join us as we explore this bold, sometimes baffling idea of being grateful in every season of life and see what God has to say about it.

Night in Bethlehem

Wednesday, December 11 from 6:00-7:30pm

Make this Christmas season an experience your family will remember! “Travel back” to ancient Bethlehem and see what daily life was like when Jesus was born. Children will be able to craft jewelry, decorate cookies at the bakery, practice scroll writing, and more!* Visit with friends in the Jewish home and learn about their customs and lifestyle. Before the night is over, the whole family will get to meet “Mary & Joseph” and hear about an amazing new baby, lying in the manger! This event is FREE for the whole family, so invite your friends & neighbors.

*New and more activity stations this year!

Questions? Email Aaron Thompson or call 507-387-5606 ext. 120.

Christmas at Crossview

You’re Welcome Here

Do you ever think about the question, 'What child is this?'  and how that well-known Christmas song reminds us that Jesus started as a baby—but He’s so much more?!  In Isaiah 9, we find four powerful names for Jesus: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This Advent, take a moment to think about our amazing God, who came to us as a tiny, vulnerable baby and showed us what God is really like.

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.

Small Groups

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.

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!
