Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 

     This past Sunday, Jan. 4, in our worship service, we talked about CPC’s Vision for 2026-2028. As a congregation, we are “Equipping the Next Generation to Advance God’s Kingdom.” We hope that you will join us as we seek to do this together – while making sure that we continue to care for each other.

     For the next two Sundays, Jan. 11 and Jan. 18, during our worship service, we will be walking through CPC’s Mission/Vision Measures. Do you know what they are? To help you be better able to track – to follow along and increase in understanding – I am sharing them with you now. So, here are the Measures for CPC:

  1. In relation to God  
    1. How am I connecting with God through prayer and the Bible?
    2. How am I obeying what I know our Lord has commanded?
    3. How am I maintaining a clear conscience before God?
  2. In relation to Family Members
    1. Who am I allowing to know me openly and honestly?
    2. How am I living a hospitable life at home and at church?
    3. How are my words and actions pointing my family members to Christ?
  3. In relation to the Church
    1. How am I praying for other members of CrossPoint Community?
    2. How am I communicating care for someone younger than me (outside of my family)?
    3. How am I helping someone younger than me to follow Jesus?
  4. In relation to the World
    1. How am I giving more this year than last year?
    2. How am I presently advancing God’s Kingdom?
    3. How am I seeking to join God in what He is doing beyond Sunday Worship?
    4. How am I displaying Christ in my words and actions to my community?

Please continue to pray for the nations of Israel/Gaza and Ukraine/Russia and Sudan. Here is a suggested list of prayers if you are at a loss for words in how to pray: https://send.org/story/hh_pray_for_ukraine. And https://worldrelief.org/blog-prayer-for-israel-and-gaza/ And here are other prayers for peace in general: https://worldrelief.org/prayers-for-peace-in-the-world/ Thank you for kneeling on behalf of the people of Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Gaza and Lebanon, and Sudan, and taking a stand (or a knee in prayer) against the forces of darkness in this present age.

Further announcements can be found in the weekly spotlight. And other church wide announcements can be found in our weekly bulletin. 

For Prayer:

1. From Bishop J.C. Ryle – “To be prayerless is to be Christless, Godless, and in the high road to destruction…It will always be found that when prayers are few, grace, strength, peace, and hope are small.” Please join our Wednesday night prayer meeting (7:45 – 9:00 pm) even if you can’t participate the whole time.
