4. Each Wednesday, such as this coming week (July 10) 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 July, we’ll be taking time to praise God for his character and attributes. 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 Gordon and Maggie who are serving in France. They are seeing people coming to Christ, and setting up an outreach event with teenagers, and taking time to rest this summer. Pray for them!
2. Heads up! Next weekend, July 12-14, the Mandarin congregation will be having their Mandarin Retreat (at CBCGL). CPC will aid them in their retreat by changing our worship service location on July 14. Please make your way to the Fellowship Sanctuary on July 14 for normal worship service.
3. Sunday Lunch Service is available at CBCGL with $5 lunches that are first-come, first-served. Lunch service will resume again in September.
4. From now 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!
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.
