JOIN US ON GOOD FRIDAY

This Easter season, we're planning a combined Small Group gathering on April 18th at 7pm. Both the Thursday & Friday evening small groups will join forces for a meeting in the Houlton backyard. Together we’ll sing songs, read the passion narrative, and pray. Mark your calendars for Friday, April 18th at 7pm, for this special Good Friday gathering.

INVITE YOUR NEIGHBORS TO EASTER SUNDAY

Join us on Easter Sunday to celebrate the Savior the grave could not hold. Use our digital flyer, which can be found here, to invite your friends, family and neighbors to join us at the Ebell Club at 10:00 am Sunday, April 20.

BRING YOUR LUNCH TO FRENCH PARK AFTER SERVICE THIS SUNDAY

This Sunday, we’ll walk over to French Park right after service to eat lunch and enjoy one another’s company in the midst of the neighborhood God has placed us in. Here are the details:

• It’s “BYOL” (bring your own lunch). If you forget your lunch or your favorite lunchbox isn’t clean, there are plenty of great restaurants nearby in DTSA.

• It’s optional - but we highly encourage coming!

• Bring some folding chairs - unless you like sitting on the grass, bring something to sit on.

• Expect the Lord to build existing relationships and create new ones.

RIGHT AFTER CHURCH THIS SUNDAY

If you’ve been visiting for any length of time and would like to learn more about what we believe as a church and how those beliefs take shape in the life of the church, this class is for you. Starting Point is a two-hour class is designed to explore Cross of Grace Church, help you to get to know us, and ask any questions you might have. Our goal is that every Santa Ana neighbor would be a part of a gospel-preaching church. We’re happy to serve you as you discern if the Lord is calling you to become part of our church family.

BRING YOUR LUNCH TO FRENCH PARK AFTER SERVICE ON March 23

Two weeks from now, we’ll walk over to French Park right after our Sunday service to eat lunch and enjoy one another’s company in the midst of the neighborhood God has placed us in. Here are the details:

• It’s “BYOL” (bring your own lunch). If you forget your lunch or your favorite lunchbox isn’t clean, there are plenty of great restaurants nearby in DTSA.

SUNDAY, 3/9 AT 5PM

This Sunday, instead of meeting in the morning we’ll gather for a meal at 5:00pm. We’ll enjoy a special time of tasting and seeing that the Lord is good as we celebrate Communion over the course of a full meal. Just as the food will nourish our bodies, the Supper will nourish our souls. We’ll sing, laugh, talk, and feast to the glory of the Savior who gave his body and shed his blood to give us a seat at the table.

ALL ARE WELCOME

• This is a family dinner so our kids will join us for the meal. No Children’s Ministry classes will be offered this Sunday.

• You’re encouraged to invite your friends, family, and neighbors to hear, see, smell, touch, and even, taste the gospel in a special way.

• Everyone is welcome to enjoy dinner and share in the common meal with us.

• All those who have professed faith in Christ and been baptized are welcome to participate in Communion and receive the bread and cup with us - whether members, kids, or guests.

• If you haven’t been baptized but are interested in taking this first step of the Christian life, talk to a pastor. They’d be happy to tell you more about what it means to believe in Jesus and profess your faith in his sacrificial death and victorious resurrection through baptism.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PREPARE

Not only will we share in the eating of a meal. We’ll share in the preparation of the meal. This is an all hands on deck event. Whether you’re a household of 1, 2, 3, 4 or more - sign up to contribute to this celebration of the grace of God in Christ.

BY SINGING LOUD FOR ALL TO HEAR

This past Sunday evening, we hosted our second annual Carols in the Park - and what a joy it was! Church members and neighbors gathered together in French Park for a night of singing well-loved songs, sharing warm drinks and sweet treats, and celebrating the holiday season. We had fun, enjoyed community, welcomed our neighbors to join us for Christmas Eve, and worshiped Jesus Christ - the One who was born to bring us into his joy forevermore!

Thank you to all who served us by singing in the choir, bringing cookies and drinks, and setting up the event! Relive the celebration by scrolling through some photos from the night.
