VOLUME 1 ISSUE 23 Cabarrus Baptist Weekly Centerview Baptist hosts Crossover Kannapolis On Sunday evening, FebruaryService 28 Marable Memorial AME Zion Church, just March 14, 2016 12:00 p.m. Counseling Center Team Mtg. Location: CBA March 17, 2016 10:00 a.m. Church Staff Worship Location: Broadus Memorial Centerview Baptist Church in Kannapolis hosted the 19th Annual Crossover Kannapolis service. Five area churches and the Men’s Choir from Teen Challenge participated; three different denominations (AME Zion, Church of God and Baptist), several races and a variety of worship styles all coming together for the sole purpose of lifting up our Lord Jesus Christ. The service was tremendous, the auditorium was full and I believe God was glorified as we sought to crossover the barriers that sometime divide Christ’s Church. Jesus, out of love, came to earth to die and rise again, not only to save us, but to make us one family. Galatians 2:28 says ‘there is neither Jew nor Greek…bond nor free…male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.’ Our unity with God and with one another is a testimony to the world that God sent Jesus and loves them even as He loves Him (see John 17:23). In past years we have also included a pulpit exchange on the Sunday morning of Crossover Kannapolis where I preached at down the street, and their pastor preached at Centerview. However, last year our whole congregation went to Marable and they fed us lunch and we led the worship service at their location. A few weeks later, Marable attended Centerview and led the worship service and we fellowshipped afterwards. We plan to do the same thing this year in consecutive weeks in April. Last year all the churches involved in Crossover Kannapolis held revival services at each of the church locations with a different pastor and congregation leading the service each evening in someone else’s congregation. It too was a wonderful experience, as God seemed to bless us and smile down on us, because we were seeking to crossover barriers that divide us in order to bring glory to Him. We hope to do a similar thing in the fall of this year. If you have questions about Crossover Kannapolis or are interested in having a Crossover service in your area, please call Pastor Willie Rash at Centerview Baptist Church.
