Merry Christmas!

Today we celebrate more than a season—we celebrate a Savior.
Because of sin, humanity was separated from God, but in His great love, God sent His Son. Jesus entered our broken world, born of a virgin, to live a sinless life, die in our place, and rise again so that we could be forgiven, restored, and brought into a right relationship with God.

The manger points us to the cross, and the cross points us to the empty tomb.

This is the good news of Christmas: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11)

From our church family to yours—Merry Christmas. May you know the hope, peace, joy, and love found only in Jesus Christ.

Crossway Church extends deepest condolences to Danelle, wife of Matthew Craig, Lead Pastor of Crossway North in Fairmont, WV, in the loss of her father, Mike Patterson. Mike Patterson was a faithful preacher of the word most of his life, and his testimony of redemption from crime and imprisonment was used to bring many to Jesus.

We are collecting a love offering for the Craig family to help offset their travel expenses to Michigan and back as Danelle grieves the loss of her father along with her family. Having just planted Crossway North, Matt and Danelle are already under many financial pressures, both personally and in the ministry, and we want to alleviate some of this pressure so they can grieve their loss without worry.

We will be receiving an offering live during the service tomorrow, but you can give now using this direct link:

Checks may be made out to Crossway Church with "Craig" in the memo, or cash may be given in a clearly marked envelope (envelopes provided at church).

All proceeds will go directly to the Craig family.

Advent begins November 30, and Crossway will mark each Sunday of this season with intentional worship, Scripture, and reflection.

Advent is a four-week celebration that helps God’s people prepare their hearts for the coming of Christ—looking back to His first coming in Bethlehem and forward to His promised return. Each week highlights a different theme that points us to the hope we have in Jesus.

The Four Themes of Advent
Hope – remembering the promises of God fulfilled in Christ
Peace – resting in the Prince of Peace who reconciles us to God
Joy – rejoicing in the good news that Christ has come to save
Love – celebrating God’s perfect love made visible in Jesus

Join us each week as we walk together through this meaningful season and set our eyes on Jesus—the Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love of the world.
