Every first & third Friday at 7pm, three different groups meet throughout our city to share in the joy of Jesus, care for one another, and apply the gospel to each other’s lives. Outside of Sunday mornings, small groups are the most important moments in the life of our church. Make it a priority to attend one this Friday.
It’s graduation season! This Sunday, we’ll be recognizing our kids who are moving up in children’s ministry or graduating out of junior high and high school. We’ll take the time to honor our graduates, present them with a gift, and pray for the next generation of Cross of Grace.
Don’t miss out on our bi-annual Members’ Meeting! This Sunday, stick around for about 30 minutes right after the service. We’ll take the time to communicate important updates in the life of our church, look back at what God has done in the last 6 months, and look forward to where we believe he’s taking us. Come eager to hear what God is up to at Cross of Grace.
Every Tuesday we publish a blog post to lay out in one place what’s going in the life of the church for the upcoming week. See below for a snapshot of what’s on the calendar this week:
6:30am - French Park Grass Area
7:00pm - Houlton, Lopez, & Lee Homes
10:00am - Meeting Room: Ballroom
11:45am - Members Meeting. Immediately after service. Members required, guests welcome.
For a third year in a row, we’re bringing an afternoon of food, fun, and community to the French Park neighborhood! We’re throwing a party to bless our neighbors, build relationships with them, and be a compelling witness to the joy that’s found in Jesus.
But to do this, we need your help! This is our biggest event of the year and we’ll need all hands on deck to make it happen. There are many ways you can contribute to the celebration: pre-party neighborhood outreach & promotion, event set-up & clean-up, serving food, facilitating games, bringing key supplies, and more! Sign up below and contact Robert Lopez or our Church Administrator at office@crossofgracesa.org with any questions. Otherwise, start sharing the digital flier with your friends and pray that the Lord uses this event for the salvation and overall good of Santa Ana neighbors.
Starting June 25th, members of the church will be gathering for a casual park day every TUESDAY morning at 10am at Santiago Park in Santa Ana (600 E Memory Lane, Santa Ana). This is a once-a-week hangout to encourage fellowship in the church, meet our neighbors, and spend time in the city where we’ve been called.
Anyone is welcome, whether you have kids or not. Bring a blanket or chair and some snacks and join us every Tuesday this summer. We hope to see you there!
Why does God take our sin so seriously? Because he is uncompromisingly holy. Like no other. Perfect in all of his ways. Never compromising upon what it means for him to be him. But we are filled with compromise and our sin causes us not to belong before him. In Isaiah 6:1-7, we are confronted by the raging fire of his holiness. Which shines forth a light that exposes all that is dark, dirty, and unlike himself within us. And gives off a heat which burns up every impurity that comes into his presence. So how can people like us stand before a God like him? We must be cleansed from sin. Listen to the sermon to learn how we are meant to respond to the holiness of God.
Summer is here and Movies in the Park are back! These movie nights are a great way to spend time together in the midst of our neighbors. Pick a night (or a few!) and make plans to go into the city this summer!
Movies will take place for seven weeks at seven different parks, every Friday beginning June 7. Each event will feature a screening of a family-friendly movie with free popcorn available while supplies last. You can expect food trucks, jumpers, and other themed activities as well. Arrive early to find parking and pick your spot & bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, and picnic supplies.

This Friday is a 5th Friday, which means small groups won’t be meeting together.
It also means that it’s an extra free night to spend time with your neighbors! Who can you invite over for dinner? Maybe text a few people and head down to Downtown Santa Ana. Have a game night with friends from work and friends from church. Host a movie night in your neighborhood. Use this extra Friday as an extra opportunity to spend time together.
