Bluewater Bay Campus eLetter
From Our Campus Pastor
Hey, Crosspoint, Bluewater Bay! I hope this e-letter article finds you well!
Question: Did you set goals at the beginning of the year? If so, how is it going?
Sometimes I set goals at specific times of the year, and sometimes I set goals based on what I see as a need at that time. Recently, I sensed the Holy Spirit leading me to lean into a couple of goals that I want to cast vision for with you. I’m asking you to seek the Lord, as well, and ask Him how you can invest in what He is doing at our campus. And I want to proactively thank you for doing so!
Two goals for our campus for the remainder of the year:
Discover Crosspoint
I would LOVE for us to increase attendance. This is the place for all of us to go prayerfully and consider the mission, the vision, and the values we have as a church. There is SO MUCH incredible information that leads to transformation when applied in Discover Crosspoint.
May I ask you to do something? First, if you’ve never attended, you should! Secondly, if you haven’t attended in a while, please do so! Trust me, the content has changed over the years, it is really good. Next, it would be a good refresher, even if you have attended, to know what is going on in Discover, so you would know the pertinent content to invite others to attend. (Inviting and attending with others is a great idea as well!) Sign up Here!
Volunteering
We have a great core team of people who volunteer at our campus, and I am so thankful for that, but the other goal I would like to accomplish this year is to have as many of our volunteer slots filled, where we have 2-3 people deep in each slot. So, if you are not currently volunteering at our campus, as your pastor, I’m asking you to prayerfully consider where the Lord is calling you to serve. And then, get connected to serving! Serving will allow you to meet some great people at a deeper level, and being used by God to serve Him and others is always fulfilling. And trust me, we will work to get you in the right place to serve, even if you have to try several options before figuring it out. Sign up Here!
Also, remember, after I preach this Sunday, I will be going on my eight-week Renewal Leave. For those eight Sundays, you have excellent preachers who will be heralding God’s word. I am looking forward to the time away to be refreshed by the Lord, and I am already looking forward to returning. I am thankful for you and our partnership in proclaiming, by living out, the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Finally, for all of you moms out there…Happy Mother’s Day! We are so thankful for you and for all that you do! I love celebrating my mom on this day as she is one of the main HERO’S of my life!
See you on Sunday!
-Billy
