SUNDAY, AUGUST 30

FAMILY FIRST | MARKING THE MILESTONES

Family First is a four-week journey designed to reimagine discipleship not as another task to manage, but as a way of doing life together. Grounded in Scripture, this series invites parents, guardians, and families to discover how God forms faith through modeling, intentional time, meaningful moments, and spiritual milestones. Rather than chasing perfection, we’ll learn how discipleship takes shape through shared life around the table, in the car, at bedtime, and in the middle of ordinary days. Alongside the teaching, we’ll introduce our brand new Crosspoint Family Ministry Roadmap, equipping families with clear pathways and practical resources for every age and stage so they can disciple their homes with confidence, clarity, and hope.

TOGETHER IN THE WORD | SEPTEMBER 6

Together in the Word is a church-wide journey through the New Testament designed to help every person, from kids to adults, grow in God's Word together. The heart behind this journey is simple: Every age and stage on the same page. Beginning Monday, August 31, kids, students, and adults will follow age-appropriate reading plans through the same chapters each week. Then, starting Sunday, September 6, our sermon series will align with the weekly readings, helping us connect what we're reading throughout the week with what we're experiencing in worship. Join us as we grow together and allow God's Word to transform our lives.

Reading plans will be available in our worship services on August 30! You can download the Bible reading plans in our Crosspoint app or on our website at crosspoint.church/TheWord.

September 6 | Matthew 3:1-12

September 13 | Matthew 6:5-18

September 20 | Matthew 16:13-20

Join us for Prayer Gatherings on the third Wednesday of each month, beginning Wednesday, September 16, from 6–7 p.m. in the Sanctuary. We’ll set aside this hour to slow down, seek God, and pray together as a church family. Whether prayer comes naturally to you or you’re still learning, we invite you to be part of this monthly rhythm of prayer.

SEPTEMBER KIDS THEME | ROCK SOLID

This month, kids are reminded that God never changes. In rock climbing, you trust solid holds, strong anchors, and a secure rope. In our daily lives, God is that steady foundation. Even when situations shift or feel uncertain, God remains faithful, powerful, and true. We can always rely on God, no matter what we face. God is unchanging—the Rock we can trust every step of the climb.
