WOW!

I guess WOW has become my new “church” word. I just cannot find enough descriptive words for what that God continues to do in, through and for CrossPoint.

Speaking of WOW…

Did you hear about our student and children’s camps last week? Many of our high school and middle school students returned saying the week was one of the finest. We know of at least two students who returned with new hearts after they repented and received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Your effort paid off, Toddel (Todd Caudel) and Grasshopper (AKA Matt Wright). I am proud of you.

Speaking of kids receiving Christ, 12 of our children were saved during their camps last week. I heard both camps were over the top. Way to go Jamey Curlee. You are the man …of steel!

The early reports from VBS verify a record setting number participating in “The Artic Edge”. Cathy O, you go girl!

Phase II is on schedule and the building is beginning to take shape. You will not recognize the back parking lot when you see next weekend. The plan is coming together better than we expected. Once again, the Lord is using Hugh Patrick in an incredible way. I am humbled by the response of the CrossPoint volunteers.

Most churches would think the preceding news is enough for one summer. Get this: these events occurred during our first week of summer.

Looking toward the weekend, we finally get to meet our new Worship and Media Minister. Bryan Haskins was introduced to the Leadership Community Sunday night, and the response was what we expected—positive, exciting and encouraging. The entire CrossPoint family will meet Bryan and Charma this Sunday morning as he leads us in worship and shares his testimony. This will be another “first ever” for CrossPoint. It is the perfect occasion for you to invite JUST ONE MORE to worship with us. It is going to be a momentous day!
