CROSSING CORNER
SERMON SERIES UPDATE
SELFIE | The Picture Is Bigger Than You
In our “Selfie” series, we’ve looked at the first big question in 1st Corinthians: “What is the nature of the church?” It’s not a place for competition, hero worship, celebrity pastors, human wisdom, or pride in making a name for yourself. Quite the opposite! Our Savior calls us to pick up our cross, put the needs of others above our own, and follow Him. These themes make up the first four chapters of the letter.
After Easter we will turn to the second big question of the letter: “What does it look like to be a selfless follower of Jesus in a self-centered culture?” The letter addresses many of the same questions we have today regarding sex, lawsuits, gender, marriage, worship styles, food ethics, sexual expression in fashion, and blurred lines between secular and sacred. Come join us and hear how God’s Word addresses us today. The times may change, but the questions stay the same!

DEDICATIONS
Baby Dedication | Wesley Goertz
Such an honor to dedicate Baby Wesley this month and commit both as direct family and the body of Christ to raise up Wesley with the guidance and support of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

MISSION 10:45
DAY TO SHARE | May 21, 2017
Day To Share is one of the ways our church lives out Mission 10:45. It’s an annual free garage sale, when donated items are made available to our community at no cost. God has been generous with us - in our material possessions, in His love for us, and in the ransom He provided by his Son – and we seek to demonstrate that generosity to our community!
We need your help! There are many ways to join in serving our city through Mission 10:45’s Day To Share.
Contact Beky Balboa for more information.
2017 LADIES RETREAT
May 6-7
Join us for a relaxing time in Estes Park. This will be a time for all the ladies at The Crossing to pause from our normal routine, deepen our friendships with each other, and allow Christ to renew our spirit in Him. For more information, contact Beky Balboa, 951-733-5994 and beky@thecrossingaurora.org, and visit the Facebook event page for more details.
COFFEE AND FELLOWSHIP
JOIN US AT 9:30am EVERY SUNDAY
We believe community is important within the Church. Not just listening to a sermon on Sunday morning, but living life on mission together, spending time with each other, and being available to those around us. Coffee and Fellowship time is an opportunity to catch up with those you may not get to see on a daily basis. Above all it's an opportunity to be present as the Lord brings visiting families to The Crossing. Join us for a cup of brew and connect with your family. It's a swell time.
