Celebrate the Harvest

Luke 10:2 “And he said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.’”

We are called to reach out beyond ourselves for the Kingdom and the women of CrossPointe have the chance to do that this Summer with TWO mission minded events.

#1
Saturday, July 11th
8:30am – 2pm (or until the food runs out)
Homeless Outreach with Highland Community Church 
Printable Directions, Highland

The women of CrossPointe have an awesome opportunity to help Highland Community Church in their Homeless Outreach efforts. We will be working that morning in their Resource Center by hanging clothing, arranging recently donated items and doing other much needed chores.  We’ll also fellowship in the kitchen as we prepare lunch for the homeless in Columbus.  At noon, we will set out to deliver our meals to the homeless community.  This is a tremendous work that Highland is already doing and we are honored to be able to participate and fulfill God’s command in this way.  Jenny Smith and Heather Horn are organizing the event and we would love to have as many women as possible take a little time out of their busy lives to join in this important effort.

Please let Danielle Counts at danicounts123@yahoo.com know if you plan to attend by Sunday, July 5th.

#2
Friday, August 7th
6:00pm 
Pizza and Scripture with the Arabella Home
Location: The Pointe
Printable Directions, The Pointe

This event gives us the unique opportunity to speak God’s grace into the lives of the residents of the Arabella Home for Girls.  The Arabella Home is located in Waverly Hall and is a Christian foster home run by the Methodist Children’s Home.  It is the sister ministry to Carpenter’s Way Ranch. The home offers more of a family style approach than a typical foster care institution. It is currently home to seven girls whose parents are either no longer alive or no longer able to parent (imprisonment, drug abuse etc.).   

On Friday night the 7th, we will meet at The Pointe and share dinner and fellowship with these teenagers and each other.  We will also participate in creating a book of scriptures for each of the girls to keep.  Join us in this special ministry opportunity.

Please RSVP to Danielle Counts at danicounts123@yahoo.com by Sunday, August 2nd.

Celebrate Simplicity

John 6:27 “Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”

 

Do you need to simplify your life?  These events are focused on finding small ways to us to Simplify so that we might better Glorify God.

SIMPLICITY… sort of reminds you of a cool breeze on a relaxing day, doesn’t it?  Unfortunately, we rarely feel like we’ve arrived at this lofty goal, whether we’re single or married.  I know that we’ve all learned a lot of good lessons over the years on how to apply this concept to our lives.  Let’s get together and share them!  At this event we will gather at the Sauciers’ home to enjoy dessert and fellowship as we feast at the table of Simplicity.  If you would like to, please write down 3 or 4 of your top ideas to simplify our lives in the categories of: meal preparation (could be easy recipes or just “how-to’s”), taking care of our homes, children, or general life lessons.  We’ll take a look at scripture and talk about ways to focus our attention on the priorities in our lives.

Tuesday, July 21st at 6:30pm 

Hosted by Melissa Harrison

Simple Hospitality – God wants all of us to practice hospitality, but it can sometimes seem overwhelming.  We will look into scripture to see what God has to say about it and discuss simple and creative ways to show hospitality.  Ladies should come prepared to share and/or receive tips on no-fuss hospitality.  Oh, and there will be food and fellowship as well!

All ladies attending this fun event should plan to bring a light snack – something quick & easy to throw together that you can share your recipe for would be perfect! Remember, this is all about the “simple” so if you need to buy your snack, we’ll gladly eat that as well .  The other thing you need to be prepared with is a tip to share.  This can be an easy recipe, cleaning tip or really anything that makes life a little easier.  Think about the little things you do to simplify.  Then join us as we share these shortcuts, learn some new tricks, and have a wonderful time together.  

No sign-up necessary – see how simple?

Celebrate Health

This opportunity will allow for fellowship and some fresh air!  Join us as we exercise to Celebrate the gift of our Health.

A group will gather at the Pavilion at Lake Bottom Park every Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5:30pm beginning June 2nd.  From there, the details of the route will be determined.  Expect the walk to last 30-60 minutes and there may be an expansion into running, biking or swimming depending on interest.

No sign up necessary.  The contact person is Julia Ells at 706.604.8856 if you have any questions.  Come as often as you can!

Celebrate the Word

 

We have TWO opportunities to Celebrate God’s word this summer as we focus on the Book of Esther.  Take time to direct your attention to the beautiful truths that God wants to show us through this remarkable woman.

 

Please sign up for either of these studies with Danielle Counts at danicounts123@yahoo.com.  If you would like for us to purchase a book for you, please turn in your money by that date as well.  Because these are time efficient (ie, only 3-5 weeks in length), obtaining your book early and having the 1st assignment read by the first meeting will be very beneficial to your overall study.
