Men’s Prayer Opportunities
We encourage all men at The Cross Church to join together for prayer. 2:8MEN is a great opportunity to pray together two evenings every month. Join us this Tuesday, August 9th, at 6:30pm as we unite together to pray for our families, our church, our community, and our nation. Also, every Wednesday morning at 6:30am, men are starting out the day praying together.

AWANA Help Urgently Needed!
In case you are not familiar with AWANA, it is a long-established, worldwide program with the goal of evangelizing, discipling, and training children to be effective followers of Jesus. We believe having this valuable tool will be very beneficial to the children and families of The Cross Church, as well as those families from outside the church who will participate.

The deadline is rapidly approaching when we will need to fill all volunteer positions in order for this program to take place. Please prayerfully consider your involvement in this valuable ministry. We have an urgent need for the Director position, as well as at least six more general volunteers. Please contact Pastor Joel at joel@thecrosschurch.com as soon as possible.

Small Group Leader Meeting
On Sunday, August 21st at 12:45pm, there will be a lunch and training meeting for Small Group leaders (spouses are invited), hosts, and anyone else interested in leading or hosting a small group in the future. We will meet downstairs in the Meeting Center after the second service; lunch is provided. Please RSVP to Pastor Bill at billd@thecrosschurch.com or 509-952-7355.

Movie Night Coming in September
As many of you know, we have hosted a movie night for the community in the past. The last time we did this, an estimated 500-700 people showed up. Be praying about what the Lord would have you do to help out. See the next page in this bulletin for more information.

Family Courtyard Update
We want to thank all of you one more time for your support of the Family Courtyard and Playground project. The total amount raised during the Next 90 fundraising event was approximately $15,500. This amount represents about half of the funds needed, and though not enough to complete the project, it is enough to get started. We are excited to see how God will provide the remaining needed funds.
