Service in the Park is Coming!

SAVE THE DATE - 4/26 @ 10AM

It’s time for our 2nd annual Service in the Park! On April 26, we’ll worship God in the heart of French Park. We’ll gather at the same time we do every Sunday. To do the same thing we do week in and week out. With a unique opportunity to do it in a different place.

On this special Sunday, we’ll be taking everything - our singing, preaching, praying, and fellowship - right into the middle of our neighborhood. Enjoying the ability to gather in the open and offer our neighbors a window into the goodness of Jesus. Complete with coffee, donuts, and pan dulce to share.

Because this service will look a little different than a normal Sunday morning, here are a few things to note:

  • Children’s Ministry: We won’t be offering our regular children’s classes. Instead, kids will stay with their families during the service. To help them stay engaged, we’ll provide some simple activities to keep their hands busy while still allowing them to listen and participate.

  • What to Bring: We’ll provide a number of seats. But to make sure there’s enough to go around, we encourage you to bring your lawn chairs or blankets. We’ll have coffee and treats, but you’re welcome to bring some water and anything else that will make you comfortable outdoors.

  • Where to Park: Anywhere you can along French or Minter St. Additional parking can be found on Vance, Tenth, or the other surrounding streets.

We can’t wait to worship in the park! Mark your calendars, invite a friend, and join us for this special moment of celebrating Jesus in the center of our neighborhood.

Some Things You Can't Make Peace With

EXODUS 17:8-16

Is it ever okay for us to hold a grudge? What about God? Because in Ex 17:8-16, he declares an unrelenting, unending, no-terms-of-peace-to-be-offered war with a people called the Amalekites. What’s going on here? What are we to make of God's promise to resist them forever? How does this story shape our stories in any way? It means that while God has made peace with us, there are some things we just can't make peace with. Because the beating heart of this battle back then has everything to do with the spiritual struggle and fight against our sin we’re caught up in today.

Men's Meeting

EVERY 2ND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH

Tonight, the men of Cross of Grace will gather together to sit under the word, bear their brother’s burdens, and call out to the Lord in prayer. All guys 15 years and older are welcome to join in at the Robles’ home tonight at 7pm. We’ll discuss what it means to see Jesus in his word and share the things in our hearts that cloud our vision of him. Come ready to be challenged, encouraged, and built up as men in Christ!

REACH OUT HERE FOR THE ADDRESS

Neighborhood Outreach

THIS SATURDAY - 3/14, @10AM

This Saturday morning, a team from CGSA is going into French Park and DTSA to strike up spiritual conversations with our neighbors. We’ll get to know them, pray for them, share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and extend the invite to our upcoming Bridge Course.

Love to do this sort of thing? Come on down! Scared to do this kind of thing? Then come on down as well! We’re expecting that the Lord will use us to extend his welcome to our neighbors as he takes our very ordinary efforts and blesses them in extraordinary ways. You’re invited to grow more confident sharing the gospel, learn from your brothers and sisters as you watch them reaching out, and see God “paint our city blue,” one blade of grass at a time.

We’ll meet at the Ebell parking lot at 9:45am to pray before we go out. We’ll wrap up around noon at Hidden House for a quick debrief.

Want to see what it’s like? Check out this video from a previous outreach. Reach out to Robert Lopez to RSVP or ask any questions.

THIS SUNDAY AT 6:30PM

The youth of Cross of Grace are meeting again this Sunday, as they continue their line by line journey through the Apostles’ Creed. This time around they’re asking the question, “Who is the Holy Spirit?” Come ready to wrestle with the big questions of faith and receive the answers God provides. See you at Hopper & Burr!

Spring Bridge Course Starts Monday

3/16 @7PM

Our 10-week exploration of the Christian faith begins this Monday! We’re looking forward to building relationships with our neighbors, wrestling with the big questions of life, and diving into honest conversations where all perspectives are welcomed.

3 WAYS TO PRAY

  1. Pray about who you’ll bring - Who in your life is seeking answers, isn’t sure what they believe, or has doubts about Christianity? Ask the Lord to give you eyes to see the family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors who are far from him and burden you for their salvation.

  2. Pray for boldness to invite them - Next, pray for boldness to open your mouth, send that text, share the link, and invite them to Bridge. Ask God for opportunities to talk about spiritual things and then seize the moment to welcome them to Bridge and keep the conversation going. Pray urgently over these next few days leading up to the course for your brothers and sisters at Cross of Grace as they do the same.

  3. Pray for open hearts - Finally, pray that God would go before you, cause your words of welcome to land on fertile soil, and begin drawing our guests to himself. Pray that he would bring your friends, family, and neighbors to Bridge so that they could catch a glimpse of our joy. Pray they’d honestly share their questions and doubts. Pray that they’d find answers in God’s word. More than anything, pray that the joy we have in Jesus would become a joy they’d soon share with us.
