The Weekend in Review

Yesterday was an incredible day for the CrossPoint family of faith. Once again, worship was over the top. Your participation in worship is growing. Keep worshipping.

We had a great group of new members participate in Discovery 101. It is my understanding we have another large number of new members participating in the Wednesday night version this week. I am beginning to think offering the Membership Class on both Sunday and Wednesday once a quarter is a good thing.

The incredible day concluded with Leadership Community. Last night’s LC may have been the strongest LC we have had all year. The topic for this month’s LC centered on the opening of the Education Building of Phase II. We announced last night that if the Lord is willing we will open that building on February 18, 2007. When we open the new wing we automatically increase our Bible study space by 700 seats. Instead of space for 500 in one hour, we will now be able to accommodate 1200. That will certainly raise the potential for greater growth.

On another front, Bryan brought Charma home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Of course, she wanted to return to the hospital last night to check on Lyric. We are not sure when Lyric will make it home. Yet it is safe to say Lyric and his mother are both doing well.

Jamey Curlee will be missed as our Children’s Minister at CrossPoint. He’s done an excellent job the last two years teaching our children how to love God and love others. As Steve announced yesterday morning, we will express our gratitude to Jamey, Jeanette and their children on Wednesday, November 15.

What did you think about the 5K & Fall Festival video? Jeremy Luno created and edited that video. Jeremy is working closely with Bryan to enhance our media ministry, and Jeremy’s expertise in that area is an answer to prayer. I am thankful for volunteers like Jeremy who make the media side of our ministry so effective.

We should be thankful for the many ways in which the Lord continues to pour out his favor on us. Every weekend is another opportunity to experience His grace. Here it is only Monday and I am already looking forward to next Sunday. What about you?

Yesterday was great. I enjoy the testimony time during the worship service. I am always moved by the way people come to the Lord. We are all sinners who were stirred by the Spirit. We all have a different story about God's mercy toward us. Gay
