IMMERSE Messiah Launches on Sunday, September 22

Will you read through the New Testament in 2024?  Earlier this year, Crosstown read through the 1st half of the NT.  Now, on September 22 we’ll resume our quest by reading through the 2nd half.  Daily Bible readings will be based on the “Immerse BIble” that is available @ Crosstown for $10.  Our top priority is to ask, “Lord Jesus, what are you seeking to say to me through your Word?”  A podcast with the daily readings may be found at: https://www.immersebible.com/messiah-16-week/  There will be a Grow Group meeting to discuss these readings on Wednesdays @ 6:30 pm in the back of the Sanctuary.

Thursday, September 19 @ Nokomis Library @ Noon



Our local community–NENA (Nokomis East Neighborhood Association)--is reading about hunger in our nation.  You are invited to join us in a discussion about food, policy, food banks, and what we can and are doing to directly help the one in eight Americans who suffer from hunger.  One recommended “read” is Reinventing Food Banks & Pantries by Katie S. Martin.  This group is co-facilitated by Sarah Friedman of NENA and Pastor John Jacobi.

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray for kids and students of all ages returning to school
  • Pray for teachers, educators and school staff as they return to school
  • Pray for adults at Crosstown to join a Grow Group
