Preparing for 2018 + Weekly Announcements

Dear CrossPointe,

As 2017 draws to a close, I’m filled with gratitude for the Lord’s grace these past 12 months and eager with anticipation for the year ahead. In April, we’ll have been a church for 13 years! When I take a moment to reflect, it seems like a lifetime ago when we first started meeting in the Old Mountain Hill Schoolhouse, yet at times seems like it was yesterday. This much I know, the Lord has been good to us! 

As we prepare to send out a group to plant a new church this upcoming year, we will need God’s continued grace. As we add another pastor to our staff, we will need God’s continued grace. As we send out numerous missions teams to serve our partners around the world, we will need God’s continued grace. As we fight to keep the gospel clear and central, we will need God’s continued grace. As we strive to live together in community as a local church in a way that commends the gospel to an onlooking world, we will need God’s continued grace. And for God’s continued grace to us we must humbly pray and ask him! Join me as we begin this new year asking the Lord to make his face shine upon us!

This Sunday, Robert will preach from Psalm 138, a beautiful text that will help us focus our eyes on the Lord as we begin 2018.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Grace and peace,

Brad
