SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1  | "TO: THE DISAPPOINTED, FROM: JOSEPH"

TO: YOU, FROM: GOD

Character Series. As a part of the Christmas season, many families around the world give presents to one another. On those presents, a tag is put that says: “To: _______, From ______” to indicate who the present is to and who it is from. This series is a character series built around the characters in the Christmas story. What we see in their lives is some of our very own felt needs. If their story could give us a gift that speaks to our felt needs, what would it be? Well in this series, we find out.

CHANGE A LIFE WITH CROSSPOINT KIDS:

Crosspoint Kids is impacting the next generation week after week through amazing volunteers and staff. As we grow, we are looking for more volunteers to provide more kids the opportunity to learn who Christ is and know that they are loved by Him. If you have a passion, skills, or talents that can be used to connect kids to Christ, we would love for you to join our team. Contact Lisa Villegas De Angeles to change a life today!

DECEMBER PRESCHOOL FOCUS: SHOW AND TELL

Show and Tell is always a favorite. Children have so much fun looking for the most special thing they can find to show their friends, and what each child shares helps teachers and friends get to know them a little bit better by seeing what is most valuable to them. This month, we’re taking a look at the ultimate Show and Tell. God showed the world how much He loves us by giving us Jesus. That is what we celebrate at Christmas, and that is what we will continue to show the world through our actions and tell with our words.

DECEMBER ELEMENTARY FOCUS: CHRISTMAS PLAYLIST

Have you ever stopped to listen to a group of carolers and then joined them to go spread some more Christmas cheer with others? Music is such a big part of Christmas, but it’s not the main reason we celebrate. It’s easy to get distracted with all the lights, presents, and traditions that sometimes we forget it’s not about the things we do, but Who we do it for and why we do it. That’s why this December, we’re singing loudly as we jam out to our Christmas Playlist to celebrate Jesus, God’s greatest gift! The best gift God ever gave was Jesus. Because of Jesus, it’s possible for us to have a relationship with God that will last forever. As we get in the mix this Christmas season, let’s take time to remember the reason we celebrate in the first place: Jesus, the greatest gift the world has ever known.

LOCAL MISSION GIFT GUIDE:

This year Crosspoint is trying something new for our local gift giving program - we’ve created a catalog of current needs that our local mission partners have! Our Crosspoint Advent Offerings are always a great way to donate cash during the holiday season. We hope that the Local Mission Gift Guide will help folks who want to donate items and gifts find a cause that is close to their heart and bless them! We will be accepting items from the Gift Guide outside the worship venue on your campus on or before Christmas Eve. If you’d like a PDF version of the catalog, you can download it HERE or at crosspoint.church/missions. All instructions about what to bring, how to bring it, and the vision of our partners is included in the book. We look forward to this new Christmas tradition!
