Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 

          “I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob are not consumed.” – Malachi 3:6

          Tomorrow night, HBtoo! will meet at CBCGL. We are talking this fall and winter about tough questions that Christians face. The first question we are tackling is “What is your God like?” Everyone has an idea of who God is (even atheists have an idea of what God is not like). So we are talking about who God is. Thankfully, we serve a God who doesn’t change.

            This coming Tuesday, CrossPoint Community’s Alpha Tuesday is beginning at 7:30 pm (coworkers are meeting at 7 pm for prayer). We are still looking for hosts and helpers. Please keep this activity in your prayers. Our God wants people to know, love, and follow Him.

            With the return to church, and the pandemic still present, we are doing what we can to have in-person ministry while maintaining safe practices and spaces. If you find yourself anxious about returning to church, I’d be glad to talk with you about your concerns and your options. We are people who are called by God to worship together. Our God calls us into community to support, encourage and spur one another on towards love and good deeds.

            Next Sunday: October 3rd, during the Sunday School Hour, CrossPoint Community will have its’ first town hall meeting as “CrossPoint Community – A Ministry of CBCGL.” We look forward to seeing you there!
