Niceville Campus eLetter
From our Teaching Pastor
Hey Crosspoint,
We loved celebrating Baptism Sunday with you this past week! There were 20 people at the Niceville Campus who were baptized or reaffirmed their baptism and 62 people across all our campuses! Praise God! We are so excited about the new life and transformation happening in so many people's lives!
This Sunday is Volunteer Appreciation! We cannot begin to tell you how thankful we are for all our volunteers do, both in the spotlight and behind the scenes! You serve God faithfully and selflessly, and we couldn't be more grateful for you! You make such a huge impact for the kingdom of God! THANK YOU!
If you are not currently serving on a Serve Team, we would love to help you Develop in Community by joining a Serve Team. We don't want you to "just fill a slot" or check a box, but we want you to Find Your Unique Role in God's Mission. If you have questions about where you would like to serve, don't hesitate to reach out to me or Meredith Freeman, our Associate Minister. We'd love to meet with you and talk about how your story, passions, and abilities can be used to build the kingdom of God!
If you want to connect with a Serve Team, you can fill out the Serve form here.
Sincerely,
Hannah Hutchinson, Teaching Pastor

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.
