The word liturgy means “the work of the people.” At Cross of Glory, we believe that we're called not only to share in the liturgy of worship on Sunday mornings—rooted in the rhythms of Gathering, Word, Table, and Sending—but also to a liturgy that's lived out the rest of the week, in and with the broader Brooklyn Center community. Therefore, this Everyday Liturgy seeks to express the work that we, the people of Cross of Glory, are called and committed to in our everyday lives (from Sunday afternoons through Saturday nights!) in light of being called to life together.

GATHERING 

 We are called to embody God’s hospitality by generously sharing space, time, gifts, and resources, 

and by meeting neighbors on their terms and for their sake—open to what we can both give and receive. 

WORD

We are called to listen and look for the ways that God’s love is alive, 

both within the church and throughout the wider neighborhood, 

especially where the Gospel tells us it’s often found: 

in the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the imprisoned.

TABLE

We are called to lament the sin and suffering of ourselves, our neighbors, and the earth, as embodied by Jesus on the cross. 

And we are called to celebrate God’s gift of life (together), as embodied by the resurrected Jesus. 

We believe that lament and celebration often happens most powerfully at tables, where bread is broken and shared. 

SENDING

We are called to work for a just community, 

care for neighbors in body, mind, and spirit, 

and tend to the earth’s gifts with humility and love.
