NEW YEAR…NEW
CHALLENGES…NEW OPPORTUNITIES!
I
would like to “take this opportunity” to say THANKS to all of my
family at CCC. You have truly been a special blessing to me and
my family during the holidays. First, the “Christmas Love” gift
was greatly appreciated…thanks for your loving generosity!
Second, it is hard to convey my gratefulness for your support and
prayers during my mom’s extended illness. I am especially
thankful to have had “extra” time with her and dad after the
holidays. The elders, staff and you made that possible because of
your committed service.
I’m not sure
how things will progress with my mom’s health…but I know God’s
grace IS and WILL continue to be sufficient. Neither, am I sure
of all that 2004 will bring our way. Yet, I know 2004 is filled
with tremendous opportunity for the Crosspointe family. My prayer
is that we will be found faithful and God will be glorified no
matter what comes our way. The writer of Deuteronomy puts the
coming year in perspective,
“…what
does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD
your God, to walk in all his ways,to love him, to
serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your
soul…” Deut 10:12
Moving Forward
with Purpose,
Mike
PS –
Please pray for our staff and elders during our “kick-off” retreat
this weekend, January 9th and 10th.
Condolences to
the Family of...
Marca Colbert, loss of brother
Page Edenfield, loss of grandmother
Judy Aube, loss of father
Paulette Munsell, loss of father
To Our
Members
“The family of Steven C. Bell, Sr.
deeply appreciates and gratefully acknowledges your
kind expression of sympathy.” “Dear Friends, Words
can never express our appreciation for the beautiful
white flower cross with red roses, your prayers,
love and concern. God is so good! With Love, Marca

Worship
and Arts ministries (Host, Drama, Music and
Audio/Visual) experienced tremendous growth and
maturity across the board this past year. Two major
developments I am excited about include:
1. The
transition to team-based leadership and direction of
the Worship and Arts area through the Worship and Arts
Leadership Team (WALT). Team members include Dwayne
Samples, Vickie Bagwell, Glenn Renfro and Adam
Feldman.
2. The
transition to team-planned services through the
Worship and Arts Planning Team (WArPT), consisting of
Jim Durand, Doug Bailey, Val Le, Sam Silva and Adam
Feldman. You have participated in several services
planned behind the scenes by the WArPT team.
I
believe we are poised for an amazing 2004! For
instance, we are entering the new year with over 50
different individuals involved in worship and arts
ministries! Also, the music team will hold auditions
in January with the desire to continue growing in
vocal and instrumental talent. Likewise, big plans are
in the works with the audio/visual area (have you seen
the new light-bar installed in the worship center?).
Continue praying for/with us as we journey together…
By
His grace,
Adam
Feldman, Pastor of Worship and Arts
Clap your hands, all you nations; shout
to God with cries of joy. How awesome is the LORD Most
High, the great King over all the earth!
– Psalm 47:1-2 |

Kids Corner
In 2003 we spent some time in the Old Testament
seeing how “It All Fits Together”, relaxed during
the Super Summer Movie Fest, and traveled to “Camp
IwilliGoway” for 12 weeks coming back just in time
to prepare for The Corner Christmas Program.
(Congratulations to all the children who
participated in the performance of “Stranger in the
Manger” – you were fantastic!) Last year was great
and I look forward to beginning a new year in The
Corner. Remember we start each Sunday morning at
9:30 sharp.
See you soon,
“Miss” Tammy

Prayer
Key Dates:
January 11 “Conversations on
Prayer”
The
year 2003 saw more emphasis and encouragement toward our
small group being the first avenue for prayer. We
believe God is continuing to grow us in the discipleship
of prayer both corporately and personally. As
the New Year progresses we hope to see more interest and
growth in personal prayer starting with the six week ABC
"Conversations on Prayer" (register on ABC
link). It is our desire in 2004 to have everyone
recognize and embrace that the biblical directives to
"carry each others burdens" and "pray without
ceasing" are for
every
believer and not limited to a
select few.
Blessings,
Marsha
