Offered by the prayer ministry team, this service is a quiet evening of worship, teaching, prayer, and communion led by Deacon Cheryl in the sanctuary. No matter what season of life you’re in, you’re invited to come as you are. When you set this time apart for prayer, worship, and reflection, you’ll put yourself in a posture to receive what God has to share with you—in this moment. Many leave this service feeling encouraged, refreshed, and seen. We hope you can join us this night, especially if you’ve never been to one of these services. We offer it a few times each year.
For 18 through mid-30s, we meet to share a meal. This ongoing group offers a great place to pray together while considering vocation, current topics, ministry throughout our lives, and just being a supportive community for each other. We’ll meet in the Great Hall at Church of the Cross.
Contact Casey and Marty Ochs to learn more.
(Note: We will eat dinner together, then join in the sanctuary for the 7pm Time Set Apart service.)

New Life is a local ministry we support, and this is their largest fundraising event of the year! Our 51st Gala will be a joyous evening, celebrating the work and growth we’ve seen, and new opportunities God has given us. Featuring keynote speaker, Rebekah Hagan, moving client testimonies, & dinner.
Social hour starts at 5:30 PM. Dinner and the program will begin at 6:30 PM and will end by 8:30 PM.
Keynote Speaker - Rebekah Hagan
Rebekah Hagan is one of today’s leading voices on unplanned pregnancies and chemical abortion. Her journey into pro-life ministry is both unexpected and deeply personal. When faced with her second unplanned pregnancy, she was terrified of losing her support system and began a chemical abortion. Her incredible story, however, took a remarkable turn, and she now uses her powerful testimony to share a story of hope and redemption while speaking to the realities that our clients are facing every day. Learn more about Rebekah here!
