Church Highlights
Church Highlights – The week of July 28, 2025
Deacon Nominations
The elders will be accepting nominations for deacons through August 24th. The nomination forms are on the table in the foyer. Any member in good standing may be nominated. The elders will review the nominations, and present candidates to be voted on in the October members’ meeting. Please be in prayerful consideration!
Vacation Bible School – August 3-6th
In August, Crossway will be having our annual Vacation Bible School. This year’s theme is Keepers of the Kingdom, which focuses on the armor of God from Ephesians 6, and will be held on Crossway’s property from 6:30-8, Sunday through Wednesday. If you would like to volunteer, please make sure that you have signed up on the bulletin board, and have the necessary paperwork filled out. If you have any questions, see Pastor Doug W. Please be in prayer!
Prayer Service – Wednesday, August 13th
Crossway will gather for a time of corporate prayer from 6:30-8:00 pm. We believe it is critical for the church to pray together for our members, for our community, and for our global missionaries (Acts 2:42, Eph 6:16-20, Col 4:2-4, 2 Thess 3:1). Along with other prayer requests, we will be reading and praying through the Psalms. Come join us as we seek the Lord together!
Good Samaritan Volunteering
On Friday evenings, pairs of Crossway volunteers help serve dinner at Bay City’s Good Samaritan Rescue Mission. If you would like to be involved in this worthy ministry, please see either Gary Studer or Pastor Doug.
Musical Volunteers
If you have a musical talent and would like to help the music team on Sunday morning as we worship God, please see Micah Skidmore.
Security Volunteers
Al Tremble is looking for men willing to help with Security on Sunday mornings. If you are interested, please see Al.
Together in Word and Prayer
Bible Project Reading Plan (Week 30): Nehemiah 4-13; Esther 1-10; Dan 1-3; Psalms 49-55
Prayer for Missions: Pray for our church planting partners in the Philippines, Pastor Jun and Pastor Ramon. Pray that they have opportunities to share the gospel with local Filipinos, and that God would work in the hearts of those they are serving. Pray for them as they engage in a variety outreach programs (school assemblies, prison ministry, feeding programs), and that churches would be planted to the glory of God.
Prayer for the World: Pray for our culture, and for the many who shape it. Pray for artists, designers, actors, writers, directors, and producers to know the truth of the gospel, be willing to stand for righteousness, and desire to promote truth and goodness through their art. Pray that the people of Crossway might be wise as we live in our culture as light and salt.
Prayer for Ministries: Pray for local BABA churches New Hope, Sunrise, and The Valley. Pray that the gospel might be preached with vigor and zeal and heard with earnest ears. Pray that the leaders of these churches shepherd their flocks well, and that their people make their service joyful. Pray that they might reap a glorious harvest for the glory of the name of Jesus Christ our Lord!
