Crosstown Connection-Jul 11-25

Summer Sermon Series


“If God is for us, who can be against us?”  During the summer of ‘24, Crosstown is “camping” in Paul’s letter to the Romans on Sunday mornings!  This experience is highlighted by this rhetorical question Paul poses in Romans 8:31.  As a spiritual life exercise, how do you know this to be true?  Do you know that God is “FOR YOU!”?  We’re invited to reflect on this question throughout the summer.

Sorrow and Sympathy


We want to express our sadness and sympathy to those families who have recently lost loved ones:



Kevin Harkins passed away on July 5, 2024 at the age of 71. A lifelong member of Elim and Crosstown, Kevin is survived by his wife, Kathy, and their daughters, Heidi and Heather. A Celebration of Life gathering was held at Crosstown on July 11. Let us thank God for Kevin’s life and his precious legacy of faith in Jesus.


Barb Lunow has passed along the news that her husband, Dan, recently passed away. This dear couple served as missionaries for many years in Papua, New Guinea as they were supported by Park Avenue Church and Crosstown. Following a memorial service held in Fort Mill, SC–at the request of the tribe the Lunow’s served–Dan’s body was moved to New Guinea for burial. Let us thank God for this great legacy of living-out Jesus’ Great Commission through Bible translation. 


Betty J. Parker passed away on Wednesday, July 10 following a lengthy illness. A Celebration of Life gathering is being planned for Tuesday, July 16 at 11 AM at Crosstown.
