4. Each Wednesday, such as this week (June 12) at 7:45 pm, you are invited, encouraged, and requested to join our weekly prayer meeting. We will not grow in Christ without growing in our dependence on God through prayer. In May, we’re making time for corporate confession. The link is found below in the section on prayer.
Administration / Events
1. We have a missions update (so check out the missions tab in the bulletin)! You can provide support for James Liang (at UConn), or pray for Chris and Emily who are serving in Japan. They are still making progress in language acquisition as they have begun serving in the church and filling new roles for their missions organization, all while raising two growing boys! Pray for them!
2. Sunday Lunch Service is available at CBCGL with $5 lunches that are first-come, first-served. Lunch service ends on June 16th and will resume again in September.
3. Beginning June 16 to August 25 – CPC will have a combined Sunday School discussing Christian Civility. If you don’t know what that is, come and learn! And if you do know what that is, come and practice it!
4. Elder Wu will be celebrating the completion of his Masters of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary on Saturday. You can find the link to the graduation service in the e-mail he sent. Also, this weekend, our former Kids Ministry Minister Tom Chow is being ordained in his church in Seattle. Praise God for granting both continued growth in Christlikeness and obedience to the Lord’s call!
5. All other announcements can be found here (in our CrossPoint Community bulletin).
For Prayer:
1. From Bishop J.C. Ryle – “To be prayerless is to be Christless, Godless, and in the high road to destruction…It will always be found that when prayers are few, grace, strength, peace, and hope are small.” Please join our Wednesday night prayer meeting (7:45 – 9:15 pm) even if you can’t participate the whole time.
