Month: November 2020

  • November 29th, 2020

    If you haven’t already, please review the special announcement from CrossPointe leadership. In order to allow Randy some well-deserved time off, we will read/listen to some classic sermons selected by Pastor Randy. The one he thinks most appropriate for this time is the one titled God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. It speaks of hope. Unfortunately, we did not make an audio recording that day, so you will have to read that one. If you prefer to listen, He recommends Season of Surprise.

    What else can you do to stay connected to the CrossPointe family? You could participate in the video worship by making a video and sending it to webmaster@crosspointe.cc by Saturday at 10 am. You might want to offer a prayer for CrossPointe, or read a favorite scripture or just say “Hello” to your CrossPointe friends. It would be great just seeing you!

  • A Peace Worth Pursuing

    Worship Service for November 8, 2020

    WELCOME

    Good morning. Welcome to CrossPointe Community Church’s online video presentation. I thank God for all of you and for the opportunity to spend these moments with you. If you’d like to reach out to me, I’d love to hear from you. You can e-mail me at randykmeyer@hotmail.com.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    I will remain after worship until 12 noon for those of you who wish to drop off your offering. You may place it in the box that is located in the lobby. If you prefer to send your offering in the mail, the address is:

    CrossPointe Community Church
    P. O. Box 126
    Chippewa Lake, OH 44215-0126

    As you are probably aware, we will do our best to fill 15 Thanksgiving boxes that will be distributed on Sunday, November 22nd after worship. Please call Suz Lemmon to let her know what you plan on donating.

    Please note that this month’s Community Meal will take place a week early. That would be November 20th.

    Today is National Cappuccino Day.

    Trivia Question: what is the derivation of the word, Cappuccino? It derives from Capuchin friars, an order of Catholic Friars associated with the Franciscans. Cappuccino got its name from the color of the hooded robes that these Friars wore.

    What did the cappuccino have to do when it got home from school?
    Foamwork.

    After waiting fifteen minutes for my cappuccino I got the wrong order.
    Still, it’s better latté than never!

    CALL TO WORSHIP

    The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship.
    Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make Him known.
    They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.
    Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.

    Psalm 19:1-4

    Today, we have the high honor and privilege of sharing in the Sacrament of Holy Communion. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to make sure your communion elements are nearby.

    A big shout-out to Alan and Vanna Robbins, Jim and Gale Arthur, Shirley Ware and Phil Strauss who helped serve our Community Meal this past Friday. Thanks to all of you and, of course, John and Amy Topola for cooking up the delicious Harvest Chicken dinner.

    How about a shout-out to the L. A. Dodgers who beat the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday night to win the 2020 the World Series.

    In honor of their win and to honor baseball in general, I have two baseball stories in my message today and these little ditties for you to cogitate on right now:

    Which baseball legend loved fireplaces?
    Mickey Mantle.

    Which baseball player makes flapjacks?
    The batter!

    What do you call a winged insect that hits home runs?
    A fly swatter.

    Bob didn’t believe that Fred’s dog could talk. So Fred asked his dog,
    “What’s on top of a house?”
    “Roof,” the dog barked.
    Bob wasn’t convinced. So Fred asked the dog how sandpaper feels.
    “Rough.”
    Bob still wasn’t convinced.
    “O.K., who was the greatest baseball player of all time?” Fred asked the dog.
    “Ruth.”
    With that, Bob walked away, shaking his head in disbelief.
    The dog turned to Fred and asked: “Was it Hank Aaron?”

    Lastly, did you know baseball is the first sport in the Bible?
    Yep, in Genesis it says, “In the big inning!”

    Speaking of the Bible:
