Bearing Fruit or Living Barren: Discipleship Training with Preston Condra, August 9th at Crossway Fellowship Hall, 5 pm
Preston Condra was with us a couple of years ago to challenge us in sharing our faith. This time he's coming back with a different focus: discipleship. What does it actually look like to grow into a believer who bears fruit, rather than simply going through the motions? Preston will be preaching in both morning services on Sunday, August 9. Then at 5:00 p.m., we'll share a meal before he leads his Bearing Fruit or Living Barren seminar. We'll wrap things up around 6:30 p.m., leaving you with practical, biblical encouragement you can carry into everyday life. If you've heard Preston before, you know he has a gift for opening God's Word in a way that's both clear and challenging. If you haven't, this is a great opportunity to sit under solid biblical teaching. We'll also have a limited number of copies of Bearing Fruit or Living Barren available for purchase. You can pick one up at the Welcome Desk starting this week for $10 while supplies last. We hope you'll make plans to join us for the day.
Celebration Night at Crossway, 5 pm
Come celebrate the Woods family as Cory, our Family and Missions Pastor has accepted a new role as our Associational Director of Missions.
Arlington Baptist College Student Luncheon, 12 pm
If your family has a high school student and you're beginning to think about college, we hope you'll join us for this special lunch with representatives from Arlington Baptist University.

Immediately following the 10:30 AM worship service, we'll gather in the Fellowship Hall for lunch before hearing a brief presentation from the Arlington Baptist team. They'll share information about the university, academic programs, campus life, admissions, scholarships, and competitive tuition rates. Afterward, they'll be available to answer your questions and visit with families one-on-one.

Whether your student is already considering Arlington Baptist University or you're simply exploring Christian higher education options, this is a great opportunity to learn more in a comfortable, no-pressure environment.
