Being the Church


This Sunday, instead of meeting inside Killian Middle School for our Gathering and "going to church", Crosspointe canceled the morning Gathering and became the church. We met outside in 25 degree cold and enjoyed some hot coffee and donuts before we gathered together to sing a Christmas carol, pray, and get into our teams. Gifts in hand, we separated into 8 teams to head to the homes of 8 families that CCA had helped us identify who could use our help and encouragement.

Thank you to all the team leaders and everyone else who put much thought and prayer into this. I know the families feel very special and blessed that they were chosen to receive this godly kindness.

We would love to hear your experience of the day. How did this experience affect you? What was your favorite moment of the morning?

We were one of those "eight" families that you met with Sunday and did we ever have a great time together praising and worshiping Jesus and celebrating HIS birth. It was a glorious time meeting literally with people from "around the world"!
The many gifts were so appreciated. How wonderful it will be to bundle up in beautiful blankets and eat home-made chocolate chip cookies!
This is a mark of the TRUE church, that leaves its doors to go into the community where sick and needful people exist.
Thanks for becoming a part of our lives and for meeting part of our family, as we, too, seek to serve Him with all of our hearts! May we share more in the future!
In His Great Love,
Paul and Vickie Nicely
