Welcoming Our Newest Members
WE ARE ONE BODY, MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER
Church membership is not “membership in a club.” It’s “membership in a body.” As Paul says in Ephesians 4:25, we are one body, yet “members one of another” - vitally connected and working together for the good of the whole. In this way, becoming a church member is an expression of commitment to the people around you. A grace-empowered pledge to fulfill the “one anothers” of Scripture with a specific group. These others are the men and women identified in a particular local church. As members of Cross of Grace Santa Ana, we have the privilege of living out the Christian life with one another. We celebrate and grieve with one another. We build deep relationship with one another. We join arms to advance the joy of Jesus in a particular neighborhood with one another. We help one another pursue holiness. We remind one another of the sweetness of the gospel.
In light of this, we praise God for the new members we had the joy of introducing this last Sunday. We happily welcome Angelo & Amber De La Cruz into the family of Cross of Grace!
We thank God for adding new laborers to the harvest that’s before us. We’re excited for them to join us as we spread the joy of Jesus in Downtown Santa Ana!
