HOW TO SPREAD THE JOY OF JESUS

Our mission as a church is to spread the joy of Jesus in Downtown Santa Ana. But what does it look like for us to be on mission? How do we make disciples of our neighbors and engage the city to which God has called us? How can we grow in our ability to share the good news of the gospel with boldness, clarity, and love for the lost? If you’re asking any or all of these questions, then this class is for you!

A CLASS TO EXPLORE CROSS OF GRACE CHURCH

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.

AUGUST 29 IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHURCH AT THE HOULTON HOME.

A CELEBRATION OF UNITY IN DIVERSITY

On Sunday, September 12th, we’ll be hosting our fourth annual “Festival of Nations”. Coinciding with Fiestas Patrias and Dia De La Independencia, we want to celebrate what God has built in our church through the Gospel - the gathering of people from all different nationalities and heritages into one new family in Christ.

HOW CAN YOU PREPARE?

1. Bring a dish (entree, dessert or side) representing your national heritage. Bring your best effort. The results will be judged and the “Best In The World” award will be given to the individual whose dish impressed the most. Multiple dishes per family are ok! 

2. Join us at 4pm on Sunday, September 12th in the Schlieder backyard in the heart of Santa Ana.

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

THIS WEDNESDAY AT MORRISON PARK

Throughout the summer, members of the church have been gathering for a casual park day. This has been a once-a-week hangout time to encourage fellowship, meet others, and spend time in the city where we have been called. 

We have experienced the Lord’s work through our time together. This time has allowed us to meet various patrons who frequent the park. We have been able to engage in fruitful conversations with members of our congregation and with guests who have joined us as well.

There is one more chance to gather as we wrap up for the summer. Anyone is welcome, whether you have kids or not. Bring a blanket or chair and some snacks and meet us a Morrison Park August 18th at 9:30 am. We hope to see you there!
