Farewell Brunch for Kerry Keksz
Our sister Kerry Keksz will be leaving us the beginning of August to be closer to their son in Virginia. Kerry has been a faithful servant in many ways to us at Cross Pointe and she will be greatly missed. To celebrate Kerry and to bless her in this new phase of her life, there will be a ladies’ breakfast on Saturday, July 16 at Broadneck Grill in Cape St. Claire shopping center at 9am. Ladies, come and share with Kerry how she has been a blessing to you and join us in praying for her as well as fellowshipping. This is a Dutch Treat event. So the restaurant can prepare for us, please RSVP to Sue Guzik at 410-980-0684 by text or Guzik93 @verizon.net by July 11.

Ukraine Relief
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.
New Form for Building Requests
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.

Sovereign Grace: Our Family of Churches
New Sovereign Grace Missions Video (Featuring Ed!)
There is a new Sovereign Grace mission update about the Sovereign Grace Development funds and how God is using them to see the gospel go forward through our family of churches. The development funds are the result of generous givers committed to seeing the gospel proclaimed and churches established in places that don't have a gospel presence, throughout the world. Ed is one of the pastors who helps administrate the European fund. Take a look at the video here and check out the SGC Missions blog here for further information and ways to give, including to the development funds!
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.
