Niceville Campus eLetter
From our Missions Pastor
Fall is full of opportunities to be Helpful Neighbors, and this year is no exception! As we head into the holiday season, there are several ways you can help us share God's love with families in our community.
Thanksgiving Food Drive | October 25 - November 15
Help provide a Thanksgiving meal for a local family! Pick up an empty bag and shopping list in the lobby of your worship venue, fill it with the requested items, and return it to the collection racks by November 15.
Want to do even more? Join us for Community Serve Day on Saturday, November 21! Distributing Thanksgiving food bags will be one of several service projects available that day. Sign up to serve here.
Christmas Store Toy Drive | Begins November 22
As soon as our Thanksgiving Food Drive wraps up, we'll turn our attention to Christmas! Starting November 22, we'll collect brand-new toys for our annual Christmas Store, which helps bless local families during the Christmas season.
Stay tuned for more details about the Christmas Store and how you can help make Christmas special for families in our community.
Thank you, Crosspoint, for continuing to be Helpful Neighbors and sharing the love of Jesus with our community!
Tyler Fuller, Missions Pastor
News & Announcements
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1
TOGETHER IN THE WORD | GALATIANS 5:13-18
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.
Kids, students, and adults follow age-appropriate reading plans covering the same chapters each week, while our Sunday messages align with those readings, helping us connect what we're learning 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!
Bible reading plans are available at our worship services, in the Crosspoint app, or online at crosspoint.church/TheWord.
