Advent Conspiracy 2009 Wrap Up

Well, the Advent season has come and gone for this year and so has our emphasis. Though we will still be accepting donations towards the well in Sudan for another ten days! I want to thank everyone who redirected their funds towards this amazing event.

To date we are about $1000 shy of our $10,000 goal. But I have full confidence that the remaining money will come in over the next few days.

We will keep you posted with new information as we get it and pictures/updates whenever possible!

Advent Conspiracy 2009

THIS YEAR, GIVE PRESENCE

For the second year in a row, CrossPoint Church is hosting an emphasis called "Advent Conspiracy." It's an amazing program where we are challenged to take the consumerism out of Christmas and celebrate Jesus the way He probably would have celebrated: presence.

When Jesus became a human, God was basically saying I have to show you how much I love you by becoming one of you, by spending time with you. We want to do the same time. So instead of giving excessive gifts, accumulating debt, and the like, we are asking you to give yourself.

For more information. Or check out rethinkingchristmas.com

So what are you doing with that money you would have spent? How about giving the source of life to a village in Sudan, Africa! More and more info will be coming your way in the next few weeks about the well, advent, and how we are making a difference.

Church of the Future

So what will the future hold? None of us truly knows the answer. But when we think about how the church is growing and changing, what do you think will be like? What do you imagine the church will do? In the community? For our seniors? Will we hear the voices of our kids and teenagers? Will the church become virtual? What do you want it to become? I would love to hear your thought.

Something New

Something new happens everyday. Not necessarily always to you? What if it could? What if the luster of that new car smell, or speed of the newest computer, or flutter or a new relationship didn't fade? If that 'new' feeling was something that didn't fade, but kept us fresh, renewed, and excited? As we have been working towards the launch of the new website at CrossPoint, I am reminded that Christ does something new in us. It is a work that continuous. It doesn't have that letdown after an hour, day, week, month, or even year. In the book of Isaiah, the prophet had many conversations with God where God was saying he would give us something new - the old would pass away and not even be remembered anymore. Because this new thing, it was so powerful it would be a reality shift.

While this new website is a reality shift for us, the more important hope is not that you would be satisfied in a fleeting thing like a website, but blessed to be in the new reality God has for you.
