THE BIG GIVE

Sunday @ Crosspoint, we started a new series called HEROES. With as many different ways as that could go, we've decided to take a look at some of the Old Testament heroes. This past week (5.4.8) we looked at Abraham's call from God. Genesis 12:1-3 shows God calling Abraham away from what he has known to "be a blessing to all." The passage ends with "all nations will be blessed through you."

That's what we want to be at Crosspoint. So, Sunday AM, we taped envelopes containing $10 under each chair in the auditorium. The goal was to bless someone this week. If everyone that received an envelope would follow through, we would be putting over $1500 into the community as a blessing. If everyone matched it, as we were also asked to do, then over $3000 would bless.

From buying someone's Starbucks, to buying a few stranger a few gallons of gas... the goal is to bless... because we can.
