Deeper Roots 2024
At our Sunday family meeting, the elders cast vison and mission for Deeper Roots in leadership, discipleship and in the city. They are asking all attenders to consider how they might be apart of investing in deeper roots by filling out this form for planning and mobilizing people. Our prayer is that everyone would fill it out by May 31st.
Business Meeting | Sunday, June 16th | after service until 11:30am
There will be a Business Meeting for the proposed budget of 2024-2025. Voting will run for the budget June 16th-June 30th.
Discipleship Opportunities
We want to make you aware of our discipleship/mentorship initiative. The Personal Development Assessment is available to fill out on the website. Once submitted, an elder will reach out to review your responses and help you create a plan for growth. And in addition to other training ministries (e.g., Text Group, Training Seminars), we look forward to connecting you with one-on-one (Mentorship) or smaller group ("Growth Groups") discipleship opportunities with other members in the church. We encourage all members of CrossWay to fill out the Personal Development Assessment each year.

Instruction
Text Groups | First & Second Sunday of every Month | 8:45am-9:45 Pre-service & Wednesdays at 6:30am
Text Groups are weekly gatherings of individuals seeking to grow in their ability to read scripture. Each week someone prepares a worksheet on a different passage of scripture (typically from the current sermon series); and together we strive to improve in our ability to handle God’s Word. Texts Groups meet at various times throughout the week, with one occurring on Sundays at 8:45 AM Alverno classroom and 6:30am on Wednesdays (Contact Dan for information about Wednesday morning Text Groups.)
Training Intensive | Third Sunday of every Month | 8:45am-9:45 Pre-service | Alverno
Our Training Intensive is a year-long training sequence designed to develop leaders in the following areas: (1) Character Transformation, (2) Biblical Discernment, and (3) Ministry Skill. We meet the third Sunday of every month from 8:45-9:45am Pre-service at Alverno. For more information on the program, including readings and writing assignments, see the Training Intensive Handbook. If interested, please contact admin@crosswaymilwaukee.org
Proclamation Groups | Fourth Sunday of every Month | 8:45am-9:45 Pre-service| Alverno
Scripture teaches that God’s people need God’s word if they are to be strong in faith (Ps. 1; 1 Pet. 3:1-3). Therefore, we believe it is worth laboring to not only teach God’s word, but also to equip men and women in this work (2 Tim. 2:2). This is the reason that the Proclamation Group exists. If you believe God has gifted you to teach or are interested in exploring this, we’d love for you to join us. Each participant is required to teach a mock class or preach a sermon at least one time to the group, along with multiple shorter speaking assignments. If interested, please contact admin@crosswaymilwaukee.org

This month, our children will continue to work through their Gospel Story Bible lessons, the New City Catechism, our hymn of the month, and their monthly memory verse. Be sure to grab a copy of the hand motions for the memory verse at our Resource Table. View the full schedule and access these materials on our members' webpage. Parents, we encourage you to use and reinforce this material with your children in your family devotions!
