Sunday, October 4
Welcome this Lord’s Day to Crossway Church!
Today We Celebrate the Lord’s Supper
Communion signifies our Lord’s loving sacrifice for our sin. Everyone who trusts Jesus to save them is encouraged to participate. If you are not a believer or you are under church discipline, we ask that you refrain, put your trust in our Lord and talk to a pastor. Further, if you haven’t been baptized, please talk to us. Baptism is the proper initial rite of the faith.
Entrust Children’s Ministry
Children, ages 1—4th grade are invited to participate in Entrust Children’s Ministry. Parents should utilize the kiosks prior to the service, then take their children to class at the conclusion of worship. Guests should visit the Welcome Center in the lobby to check-in.
Baptism
If you have professed Christ as Lord and Savior and have not yet been baptized, please consider being baptized on Sunday, October 11. Visit the Welcome Center to pick up a copy of the Baptism Preparation Guide. Upon completion of the guide, a baptism interview will be scheduled with one of our pastors.
Upcoming Sermon Texts
Oct 4: Lamentations 5
Oct 11: Topical Series
Event Audio Volunteers Needed
Event Audio runs the mixing board for church events held in the lobby. We are in need of church members who are willing to join the team. Training will be provided. Please reach out to Dannon Schmidt if interested, or with any questions you might have.
Cleaning Team Volunteers Needed
The Cleaning Team exists to be faithful stewards, engaging in regular cleaning activities so that members and guests are served by the pleasant appearance and clean environment of our church building. Volunteers typically work every other week (times can be flexible) for a couple of hours at a time. While having prior cleaning experience is preferred, this is not a requirement. The church provides all necessary cleaning supplies and training. We are currently looking for two regular volunteers as well as a “floater” who could serve on a as-needed basis. Please reach out to Christopher Shoff if you are interested in joining this team.

This October, you can run, walk, or bike, and log miles on their app. You can also support those who do. Greg Gehman will be overseeing the group this year. You can contact him for more information or to sign up.
Men’s Discipleship Course
The Men’s Discipleship Course is an opportunity for likeminded men to gather. This course will help you grow in your love for God, love for his Word, and in your faith to fill the roles that God has given you as a man. MDC meets twice a month on Saturday mornings (7:30-9:30am) from October 3 through May 1. All men, 18 and up, who are members of Crossway Church, are invited.

5th Quarter
Crossway Church is staffing 5th Quarter this Friday, October 23rd. This outreach provides a place for Penn Manor students to interact after the home football game. A variety of serving times and needs are listed on the registration page.
Christian Worldview Workshop
How do you faithfully follow Christ in a culture that increasingly rejects a biblical and objective view of truth, identity, family, and human flourishing? You need more than good intentions. You need to know what you believe, why you believe it, and how to apply biblical truth to the questions shaping our culture. That’s why the Church Ambassador Network (CAN) and Family Research Council (FRC) invite you to a Christian Worldview Workshop designed to equip you to think biblically, communicate clearly, and live faithfully in today’s culture. This workshop will be hosted by Crossway and will take place on Thursday, October 29 from 8:30am-4pm. Registration is open now (use code Crossway10 for 25% off!).
Drawing Near in James
For women who are members of Crossway, or who are in the membership process: “Drawing Near in James” is a month long commitment to read through the book of James each week in November. You’ll be joined with a partner, so it’s a great way to get to know other ladies in the church. For more information or to sign up, visit Church Center.
Women’s Workshop Night
Ladies 12+ are invited to register for this Workshop Night on Tuesday, November 17th, from 7-9pm. There are ten workshops to chose from, and space for some is limited. Guests welcome! Registration is open now through November 8.
