  • A Merry Heart

    Worship Service for September 27, 2020

    WELCOME

    Good morning. Welcome to CrossPointe Community Church’s online video presentation. I thank my wife, Gail, for being behind the camera as we speak and Lindsay Brandenburg for receiving and posting these files to YouTube so that you can participate.

    An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it opened its mouth to swallow both. As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, “Oh, my God! Help me!”
    At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds, “I thought you didn’t believe in Me!”
    “Oh, come on God, give me a break!” the man pleaded, “two minutes ago I didn’t believe in the Loch Ness monster either!”

    This Friday is the last Sunday of the month and therefore is our Free Community Meal. John and Amy are preparing pork chops, rice pilaf and a vegetable; yum! If you like to volunteer to help serve the meal drive-in style, let me or Gail know.

    On Sunday, October 4th right after worship Captain Noftz of the Chippewa Lafayette Fire Department is arranging for whoever wishes to be trained on how to use the AED heartbeat restorer that is mounted in our sanctuary. Please consider taking this training. Who knows, it might save someone’s life.

    Once again, let us open our hearts to praising and hearing the Word of the Lord by reading through the worship service. Please take advantage of the opportunity to read, pause, reflect and pray when you feel led. I hope you also noticed that most of this service is also available in video format on the same page where you accessed this.

    CALL TO WORSHIP

    But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
    let them sing joyful praises forever.
    Spread Your protection over them,
    that all who love Your name may be filled with joy.
    For You bless the godly, O Lord;
    You surround them with Your shield of love.

    Psalm 5:11-12

    Our Church leaders will be meeting today after worship to discuss, among other things, when to return to a 10:30 am start. I will include their decision in Wednesday’s e-mail. By the way, if you don’t receive my weekly e-mail and would like to, let me know at randykmeyer@hotmail.com.

  • Eucharist

    Worship Service for September 6, 2020

    WELCOME

    Good morning. Welcome to CrossPointe Community Church’s online video presentation. I thank my wife, Gail, for being behind the camera as I speak and Lindsay Brandenburg for receiving and posting these files to Youtube so that you can participate.

    Meanwhile, our church leaders are moving toward being able to live-stream so that what you see will be taking place live on Sunday mornings, rather than seeing a recording made on Friday afternoons.

    Allow me to pray for you who are reading this:

    Dear Lord, I am grateful for all those who have decided to gather for worship in this way. We are grateful for the technology and the volunteers who make this possible. I pray, Lord, for those who are watching from the safety of their homes. I pray that even though they have not gathered with others to worship that they will be conscious of the bond of unity with their other sisters and brothers in Christ at CrossPointe. As Jesus prayed, we are one with You and therefore one with one another regardless if we share the same space. And I pray that You will keep us together in this way until it becomes possible for us to all see each other face to face.
