I hope you're enjoying Thursday, April 23rd, 2009. You better, it'll never happen again!
I wanted to give you a proverbial heads up for this coming Sunday. We will be hitting the pause button on the Color series because of some cool stuff that has landed on Crosspointe's calendar all at once. The Sunday morning message will consist of Jonathan sending off the Mangine family, as they leave for Haiti in just a few days. Wow. We will pray for them and celebrate what God has done and will do through their influence in this community, and now Jacmel. Additionally, Shane and Kara Gauthier from Kenya will be here to help us see just what it is that we have partnered with in East Africa. They come with amazing stories and a good reminder of what our commitment to them is producing in hundreds of lives the world has forgotten.
So, it will be a time of worship, send off, celebration and getting acquainted with our brother and sisters in Kenya.
If you are planning on using the Color series for your group discussion, it will pick right back up next Sunday. For this Sunday, I suggest that, even if you are not following the Color series that you consider taking next week's group time to discuss as a group what it looks like to go and do. From serving on Sunday morning to ensure the best possible experience for people visiting who are far from God, to the Durham Rescue Mission, to other local opportunities, all the way to your group beginning a plan to go to Kenya or Haiti in the future. You may find that your group just needs a push to begin planning on becoming part of the amazing story God is telling all over the world. What a great week to dive in!
If your group decides to mobilize, or at least wants to take the discussion further, then you will want to (or have someone in your group own this particular facet of your Groups' journey) contact Pam McKerring, Crosspointe's Pastor of Mobilization.
You're loved,
Steve
