CrossWalk's Annual Baptism Class - Starts August 17
CrossWalk baptism celebration on September 13 is a great opportunity to mark the beginning of your new journey through the Biblical practice of baptism. This class is a place where you can take time to decide and prepare. You will be able to voice your questions, doubts, insights, and faith as we search for the answers together. We would be honored to have you become a member of the family of God with whom we can dream, organize, and work together to make this world a better place. Anyone who is considering baptism wants to commit to God and join the adventure of learning to be a great lover of God, people, and life. All members of CrossWalk are baptized by the practice of immersion instituted by Jesus Christ.
A series of four different classes will be offered each at 2 separate times, plan on attending all 4 classes. Below are the different classes available.

CROSSWALK AT BARNES AND NOBLE
During the month of August we will be reading four books and pulling the theme from each book into the sermon. Reading these in advance will enhance your Sabbath morning experience. Often Jesus would take the stories of his day and find the meaning of God in them. Many of the parables Jesus told were current best sellers of the time. So in the same way Jesus engaged in the culture around him, we too follow in his steps. Take some time this summer to read and be inspired.

out an “Expectant Parents” form so we can plan your meals!
CROSSWALK MEMBERSHIP
We can not fulfill our mission alone as individuals. We are a church because God wants us to be and do something together. With our unified diversity, we weave a biblically functioning community that exists
for the purpose of being an agent of God’s Kingdom. Although we do have attendees and visitors
for whom CrossWalk is a safe place to walk in their spiritual journey and seek God, it is members
who form the core of CrossWalk. We are not just an organization, but a spiritual family in which
members belong to each other and actively participate in the community life. Our mission is to
be a learning church that grows in love that is sacrificial, thoughtful, effective, and persistent. If you
resonate with these goals and want to be an integral part of the adventure become a member. God
has made you to belong to community where you can make an impact with your ideas, your gifts,
your energy, and even your vote , as you share with others the ways you understand and live with God.
To become a member, visit the Information Center and fill out a Membership Request Card.
