Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
May I remind you that there is no Friday Night Bible Study tonight – May 22 (due to the Memorial Day Weekend). But there will be Empower Fellowship, at 7:30 pm in Room A201a.
Also, sign-up (via the qr code on the above image or in the link below) as we will have the CPC Summer Fun Day on Saturday, May 23 – in the Main Cafeteria – from 11 am to 4 pm.(You don’t have to stay for the whole time, but we do have use of the gym from 1:30 to 4 pm). Here is a link for the potluck so that you can sign-up. The CPC Summer Fun Day is a time for CrossPoint Community to get together for fellowship, with the intent of having intergenerational interactions so that we can work towards our vision of equipping the next generation to advance God’s kingdom. But to do that, we need to know each other. So this Summer Fun Day is a day for us to spend time just getting to know each other and those connected with our regular ministries and activities.
And finally, now’s the time to help with VBS and Panama STM. You can also bring in supplies for VBS this summer. See the list in the bulletin (Children’s Ministry Tab). Or check out the poster outside of the Main Sanctuary (Great work Jeanne!) Thanks to those who brought in books for the Panama Christian School – we have met our goal and are all set! No need to bring in further books.
Please continue to pray for the nations of Iran and 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 Iran 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.
