🏈 **LET’S FEED SOME FOOTBALL PLAYERS.** 🌮

On September 10, we’re getting the chance to serve the Illinois College football team — and if you’ve ever seen a college football player eat, you know this is going to require some groceries. 😂

We’re putting together a **taco & nacho bar** for the team, and we need our Crossing family to help make it happen.

You can help by signing up to bring an item — meat, cheese, chips, toppings, drinks, whatever is on the list.

It’s simple.
It’s practical.
And it’s a pretty great way to show some college athletes that **they matter to us and we’re in their corner.**

🌮 **Feed a football player.**
❤️ **Serve our community.**
🙌 **Be the church.**

👉 **Sign up here:** https://bit.ly/ICFB26

Let’s make sure these guys leave full — both in their stomachs and knowing they’ve got people cheering them on. 🏈

**Crossing Church Jacksonville — let’s do this!**

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Please have ALL items returned to the church no later than 4:30pm on September 10th. Thank you!

There are a lot of things we could choose to miss.

But this? This is why we don’t miss Uncommon.

15 baptisms.

15 stories of men who said yes to Jesus.
15 reminders that God is still changing lives.
15 moments that started with someone being willing to show up, lean in, and surrender.

Dad’s baptizing sons.
Son’s baptizing dads.
Brothers baptizing brothers.
Friends baptizing friends.

Uncommon isn’t just an event on the calendar. It’s an opportunity to create space for men to encounter Jesus, find community, and take a step they may not have taken anywhere else.

And when you see what happened this weekend, you remember why we keep showing up.

Because ordinary ends when surrender begins.

This is why Uncommon matters.
This is why we don’t miss it.

Grief has a way of making us feel like we're carrying a weight no one else can see. But you don't have to carry it alone.

If you've lost a spouse, parent, child, sibling, friend, or someone you love, GriefShare is a place where you'll find understanding, encouragement, and hope. You'll connect with people who truly understand what you're going through and discover practical tools to help you navigate each step of the healing journey.

Whether your loss was recent or years ago, it's never too early—or too late—to find support.

💙 Registration is now open. Sessions start on August 25th and are every Tuesday night through November 17th. We'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Most guys have no problem investing in their truck.
Or their golf game.
Or deer season.

But when's the last time you intentionally invested in becoming a better man?

That's what Uncommon is all about.

One weekend. Great food. Plenty of laughs. Honest conversations. Practical wisdom. And a challenge to become the kind of husband, father, friend, and leader people can count on.

Whether you've been in church your whole life or you're just looking for a short getaway, you'll leave with something that makes you better.

Don't hear about it afterward wishing you'd gone.

Grab a buddy and join us. This is one weekend you won't regret.

🍎 **Remember that teacher who somehow survived having you in class?** 😅

Now's your chance to pay one back.

Teachers spend their own money every year to make their classrooms a better place for students. We want to lighten that load and remind them they have a community cheering them on.

Here's how you can help:

✅ Claim a teacher using the link below.
🛒 Purchase $25-$50 items from their Amazon Wish List, ship them to YOUR house, and drop the items off at the church by August 2.
❤️ Join us on **August 9 at our 10:00 AM service** as we pray over our local educators and encourage them before the school year begins.

It doesn't take a huge gift to make a huge impact. Every notebook, box of markers, pack of pencils, or classroom supply says the same thing:

**"We're grateful for you, and you're not in this alone."**

Claim a teacher below and let's show our educators just how much Crossing Church loves them! 👇

Men, it's great if you're dominating your fantasy football league...🏆

But your wife and kids would probably rather have a first-round husband and dad than a first-place fantasy team.

That's why you need to be at the Uncommon Men's Conference! It will give you the tools to grow into the man God has called you to be.

No fluff. No pretending. Just real men pursuing Jesus together.
