CrossWay Community Church

On the first Sunday of the month we have a special of family service! In December our kiddos painted this beautiful “stained glass” mural to celebrate the first three seasons of the church calendar!

The Christian Year is split into two cycles of anticipation, celebration, and proclamation. The first cycle is the Cycle of Light: Advent, The 12 Days of Christmas, and Epiphany.

Advent is the four Sundays before Christmastide begins where we anticipate the coming of Christ in the manger and his quick return in the New Heavens and New Earth. Over the 12 Days of Christmastide we celebrate the birth of Jesus and his infancy. And on Epiphany we remember the magi coming and join them in proclaiming to the world that Christ has come.

Each window captures a scene of the seasons. For Advent, Gabriel announcing to Mary the promised son; For Christmastide, Christ born in the mange; For Epiphany, and the wise men proclaiming: Joy to the world! The Lord has come!
