Join us for a quick update after worship on Sunday, 8/24.

Men's Prayer (rescheduled from 8/16)
2025-08-23 07:00 - 08:00 | Hemby Program Center | YMCA, 9760 Happy Valley Drive, Charlotte, NC, 28270, United States
One of the main pieces of feedback from our men’s retreat was more opportunities for the men of Cross Park to be together. We’d like to take advantage of that interest and call us together for monthly prayer. Brothers, please plan to attend our men’s prayer event the third Saturday of every month from 7-8am. Will meet at the house on Hemby’s campus for 30 minutes of devotional/discussion (following up on the content of the men’s retreat) and 30 minutes of prayer for one another, the church and our work in the world. Attendance at the men’s retreat is not a prerequisite for coming to this prayer gathering. We’d like to see this happen monthly and for it to become an important part of our corporate life together.

Note: This is not a breakfast, so you will want to have eaten beforehand and to bring your own coffee. Low on logistics and high on intentional time in the word and prayer together. Reach out to Grant with any questions (grant@crossparkchurch.org).

Book Club BONUS ROUND! We enjoyed our time together this summer so much that we are going to extend our season by adding a short book for August, George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin. This is an early classic of Christian fantasy literature, and though it was written for young people, the story is rich and deep enough to satisfy all readers young and old. The discussion will be held at the Shanks’ house on Thursday, August 14, at 7PM. The book club would like to specially invite all the young ladies of our youth group to join us in reading and discussing this one, if they would like! Any copy of the book can work for our discussion, and you can even listen to it online on Spotify, or download a free PDF here. If you are interested in joining in, please let Wendy know by emailing wkshank62@gmail.com.

This gripping account of his life, call, and mission is a classic among missionary biographies, and his love for Christ and the gospel will challenge any believing reader to risk anything to reach those who have not yet known or trusted our savior. The meetings will be held on the evenings of June 19 and July 17. If you are interested to join this reading groupon either or both dates, please let Wendy know by emailing wkshank62@gmail.com.
