Niceville Campus eLetter
From our Women and Prayer Minister
Crosspoint Family,
Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 10 from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. for our 4th annual Parking Lot Prayer for Schools event. You can make a difference for our Niceville Schools. If you are a parent, grandparent, principal, teacher, student, employee, volunteer at one of our schools; or simply a caring community member, come and bring your family for this important prayer time.
The needs of our kids, students, teachers, and administrators are a priority for Crosspoint. We have seen God's blessings and great successes with our schools and students receiving multiple awards in academics, sports, and leadership. God is hearing our prayers and we get to help make this a winning year for our students! Sign up here to pray for your school of choice today.
Suzanne Niedbalski, Women and Prayer Minister

"HELPFUL NEIGHBOR"
Do you know your neighbors? Do your neighbors know you? What if one of the most impactful, Godly things you ever did was simply to get to know your neighbors? In this four-week series, we’ll recover the lost art of neighboring as a spiritual imperative Jesus teaches that can literally change where you live and someone’s whole life. Join us for this four-week journey and become a Helpful Neighbor!

JULY PRESCHOOL FOCUS | START THE PARTY
No one likes for a party to end, so let’s keep this party going! That means you can keep all of those streamers, hats, and party horns right where they are because we have MORE to celebrate! This month, we’re celebrating Jesus because Jesus gives me joy! We’re not talking about the happiness you get from a carnival ride or a triple scoop of ice cream kind of joy. We’re talking about the joy only Jesus can give! It’s the kind of joy that we can have no matter what. It is a joy that lasts forever! So, grab a handful—or two—of confetti. It’s time to start the party . . . AGAIN!
JULY ELEMENTARY FOCUS | START THE PARTY
Choose joy! This may be a commonly used phrase you’ve heard, but what does it actually mean? Joy is more than being excited about the good things that happen to us. Joy is an attitude—a decision to trust God no matter what is going on in our lives. From the very beginning, God had a plan for the world. As we dive into the Bible, we’ll discover God’s plan for us and how God has been at work through it all. When we see and celebrate what God is doing, we can find true joy!
