Weekly Update

This Sunday is an important day in the life of CrossPointe Church! We are installing Scott Crook as the Lead Pastor. This will be a celebration and a time of commitment. John Loftness will preach and Ed will lead the church and Scott through a series of affirmations. Please ensure you are present and able to participate. Additionally, after the service we will have a luncheon to celebrate this joyful day, so please plan to stay after for a meal and fellowship.

We will commemorate and honor the life of Ashley on May 14 at 11:00am at CrossPointe. There will be a luncheon to follow. Please continue to pray for Ashley's family as they grieve, particularly for Robert and Susan. What a blessing it is to have had Ashley in our church family.

Sundays, April 24 and May 1, 8:30-9:30am - This class is for those interested in being new members or individuals who would like more information about CrossPointe's doctrines and core values. The class consists of two, 1-hour sessions, pre-reading course material, and a Pastoral interview for those that finish the class sessions and are interested in making a commitment. The pastoral interviews will be scheduled on an individual basis. Requirements to complete the class are a confession of faith (i.e. "you must be born again"), and a desire and willingness to commit to the local church. Complete this registration form and we will send you more information in addition to the course material that is to be read before the start of class. Contact the office if you require help completing this form.

Attention Parents: Children's Ministry will have two classrooms open this Sunday. The Kingdom Kids room (for children ages 4-6), and the Young Disciples room (for children ages 7-11 years old) Be sure to register with KidCheck and print your name badge before heading upstairs. We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

Michael & Sarah Molinaro will be hosting a new care group, in their home, starting on May 12th. The care group will meet every other week on Thursdays from 6:30-8:30PM. If you are not involved in a care group, please consider joining as a means of strengthening your walk with Christ and deepening your relationships within the CrossPointe community. For more information, contact Michael at mjmolinaro7@gmail.com

As a family of churches, Sovereign Grace is working with an associated church plant in Ukraine and a partner church in Hamburg, Germany to care for those being affected by the ongoing war. To date, Sovereign Grace Churches (SGC) has given over $14,000 to relief efforts. You can watch this video in which Mark Prater, who leads Sovereign Grace, talks about the relief efforts and how SGC is seeking to serve in this trying time. If you would like to give financially you can do so through the Europe Development Fund here (last one on the list) as all monies given will go to disaster relief through this church plant on the ground in Ukraine.

CPC members can use this link to request use of the building for church related contexts - care group, bible study, etc. This will help guard against scheduling conflicts as it will be a means to add church contexts to the church calendar. Thanks for your cooperation in this.

As announced on Sunday, you can go to www.omaras.org to sign up to stay connected with the O'Maras. This website will give you an overview of their plan, how you can support them, and is the gateway to connecting to their monthly letter and social media outlets.

The Middle School Bible Study, led by Greg & Denise Colebrook, is held every 2nd and 4th Sunday in the prayer room.

Also, we have created a Middle School Group on Faithlife where you can see any announcements or updates. You will need to first join CrossPointe's Faithlife group then we can invite you to the Middle School Bible Study Group. We will talk more on Sunday concerning this, but if you have an email and can sign up ahead of time, we can invite you to the group during class on Sunday!

Visit this link to view the most current prayer requests. You will need to be signed into your Faithlife account in order to interact with these prayer requests.

Sovereign Grace Missions Update 

There is a new Sovereign Grace mission update about Trinity Fellowship Church in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Trinity Fellowship Church was planted by Michael Granger, his family and a small team in Addis Ababa. They started the Ethiopian Pastors College not long after. This video shares a bit about that story and how our mutual partnership is bearing fruit in the world! Take a few minutes to watch the video update here, and check out the SGC Missions blog here for further information and ways to give!

CrossPointe Church is in partnership with Sovereign Grace Churches in that we share the same mission and values. Here are a few ways to keep in touch with what is going on.
