South Crestview Campus eLetter
From our Campus Pastor Mathew Hargett
G.K. Chesterton said, "We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour." At Crosspoint, we have 4 roles of a Disciple that describe the kind of disciples we believe God is asking us to be and create:
- Faithful Follower
- Helpful Neighbor
- Deployed Disciple
- Kingdom Builder
Each role has a statement describing it and two questions to help us know how we live in this role. I love the two questions for being a Helpful Neighbor:
- What are the names and needs of those where you live, work, and play?
- What are you practically doing to serve them this week?
That quote at the beginning is so important because we believe that God uniquely created and placed you to strategically meet your neighbor's needs!
I hope you will join us in a service this Sunday, and learn how we can cross the barrier of fear that separates us from our neighbors.
Mathew Hargett, Campus Pastor

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!
