HEAD TO FRENCH PARK AFTER CHURCH

This Sunday take the opportunity to eat lunch with your French Park neighbors. Immediately after the service, we’ll be walking over to French Park to eat lunch and enjoy one another’s company while 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 with our neighbors

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR AUGUST 13

Clear your calendars on the evening of Friday, August 13th. If you volunteer on any of Cross of Grace Church’s ministry teams, the pastors would like to take an opportunity to bless you and thank you in a special way. The event will begin around 7:00pm. Childcare will not be provided, so take the next few weeks to find a trusted friend to watch your kiddos so you can enjoy the evening. More details to come.

2. Bring a lawn chair or folding chair for every member of your household

3. Plan on walking straight from church to French Park immediately after the service has ended. It’s 200 yards north of the Ebell Club, so no need to drive. You may keep your car parked in the Ebell parking lot.

OPPORTUNITIES TO MIX IT UP WITH OUR DOWNTOWN SANTA ANA NEIGHBORS

This past year and a half has pushed us into our homes and away from the life of our city. Changing that direction will take intentional effort by every single one of us. We have been sent by Jesus to spread His joy in the city of Santa Ana. Let’s take the opportunities we have before us to re-engage our families and our schedules into the lives of our Santa Ana neighbors. Expect regular blog posts advertising upcoming events and gatherings that you can attend in your effort to “get back to the city”. Here are a few options below. They’re a great place to start.

• Summer reading challenge at the Santa Ana Library running from July 1-31. Click here for more information or to register.

REGISTER TODAY FOR STARTING POINT - A TWO HOUR CLASS FOR GUESTS

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. The aim is to help you discern whether or not this is the church family the Lord is calling you to. If we discover together that this isn’t the church for you, we want to help you find another church. If by the end of the class you believe this is where the Lord is leading you, then we’d love to take steps toward welcoming you as a member and assisting you to plug into the life of the church.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

JUNE 13 IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHURCH AT THE HOULTON HOME.
