Brothers and Sisters in Christ,       

            I hope this e-mail/update finds you doing well. As I considered what to write this week, I wanted to let you know how you can be praying. Here are some prayer items related to our ministry and ministry at CBCGL. 

  1. For CrossPoint Community Ministry: 
    • Pray that plans would come together for regathering and for the Young Adult fellowship for the Fall-Winter.  
    • Pray that we would move together to serve one another and serve the community, through which we seek to serve our Lord Jesus. 
    • Pray that we would be a congregation marked by prayer – that we would make time for prayer and delight ourselves in the Lord. 
    • Pray for those in our congregation with health concerns – that they would recognize the faithful presence of God in the midst of the unknowns of illness. 
  2. For CBCGL: 
    • Pray for VBS (Aug. 9-13) – That the children will understand who God is, who they are, who Jesus is and what they must do as a result. Pray also for the celebration ceremony that parents would see the value of church. 
    • Pray for the Youth Service Week (Aug. 16-20) – That they would enjoy serving the Lord together and would be a blessing to one another and to the community. 
    • Pray for God to raise up Elders – That we would be obedient to God’s leading and willing to serve where he guides.
