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.
