Freeport Campus eLetter
From our Student Minister
Hey there, Crosspoint Fam!
If you happened to miss last week's message, you should go take a listen in our Crosspoint App or at Crosspoint Church.
We started a new sermon series titled You Asked For It and we are anticipating some tough questions you, as Crosspoint, have asked. It's good to ask the tough questions. Our culture has made things difficult when it comes to heavy, controversial topics. But when we look at the life of Jesus, we can see He wasn't afraid to answer the hard questions. He welcomed them. He challenged the way people thought and believed even in today's world. You won't want to miss this week's topic, so join us for worship at 9:30 a.m. or 11:00 a.m.
I've also have the great privilege to do the same with our Students every Wednesday. Even at a young age they ask some hard questions and bring up some hard topics. When we look through the book of Acts we can see how the early church gathered, ate food, and grew in relation with each other and God. I love seeing how we can keep it simple and still see life change. We also have been seeing growing numbers and would love to partner with anyone who feels that tug in their spirit to serve the next generation. I'd love to talk to you!
Have a great week!
Joshua Gantenbein, Student Minister

APRIL PRESCHOOL FOCUS | SHINE
Have you ever been somewhere where it was so dark you couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face? No light shining under the door. No stars in the sky. No screen glaring back at you. Just darkness. So much darkness that you have to shuffle slowly, stumbling your way across the room with arms stretched out, hoping, searching . . . and then finally, with the flip of a switch, LIGHT! Light changes everything.
This month, we’re talking about light, but not just any light. We’re talking about Jesus—the light of the WORLD—and how when we do what Jesus says, we shine. We shine the light of Jesus! After this month, we hope every time you and your preschoolers see a lamp or a star-filled sky, you remember that people were made to shine, and we have Jesus—the light of the world—to show us how. So let’s not hide our light. Let’s SHINE and light up the dark so others can see their way to Jesus.
APRIL ELEMENTARY FOCUS | COOKOUT - IT'S WORTH THE WAIT
Waiting is a part of life. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait on our own. Through the Holy Spirit, God can help us experience the patience we need to wait well. After all, God is patient with us. God is in control and knows what’s best for us. Even though God’s people had been waiting for years for the promised Savior, at just the right time, God sent Jesus. Because we’re created in God’s image, we can reflect God’s patience in our lives. We can be patient when we remember what God has done. We can lean on God’s Holy Spirit to give us the strength we need to trust God and show patience with the difficult circumstances in our lives.
