Lent
Pastor Mike has suggested that we all observe Lent together, and do some things in our lives and schedules that will help us connect with God better. The points of his message were:
- Slow down
- Many of us are distracted and miss God’s voice on mission
- Make room
- Clear out some things that are making you busy
- Give up something for Lent
- Fast
- Get alone
- Jesus often went to a “solitary place” to pray to God. So should we.
- Be quiet
- Sometimes we talk too much. Let God speak to us.
- Open up
- As we contemplate and think about God, be open to His speaking to you.
- Pray, but also listen to the Holy Spirit
During Lent, let’s all:
- Give up something
- Spend time with God praying and listening
- Use the calendar handout
Here’s how to use the calendar handout:
- Each day there is a subject to think about – use it in your prayer and meditation time.
- Each day there is a Bible reading
- Every Friday and Saturday we will be reading the chapter in Lamentations that we will be looking at on Sunday

Senior High going to Life2010
CrossPoint’s Senior High students, along with adult sponsors, are leaving for Louisville, Kentucky Tuesday morning to attend Life2010 (Collide). Life2010 is a gathering of thousands of students from around the country for a giant conference with seminars, worship, concerts, and teaching. We are praying that our students will authentically experience God, be inspired to expand His Kingdom, and grow closer to Christ. May they experience God in a fresh new way this week.
