Happy Birthday CrossPointe Winter Park
It slipped my mind, but I was reminded today, that one year ago we had our first Sunday night worship gathering to build our launch team. Very encouraged and thankful for all the people who have partnered with us in this crazy adventure of church planting. So cool to see God bringing and connecting new people every week! Feel very privileged to be part of what is happening and looking forward to what the next few months will bring.
This milestone in the life of CPWP has also served to remind me of the message I got to share that first night...that we need an ongoing focus on the gospel. I shared this quote from C.J. Mahaney that I hope we never lose sight of...
The greatest need in the American church today is the recovery of the church’s central message, the gospel. Far too often in evangelical churches the gospel is simply assumed and, being so assumed, its voice is muffled, its entailments are ignored, and its power is drained. More significantly, when the gospel is assumed it is in grave danger of being displaced. The church is, therefore, in great need of a thoroughgoing return to gospel-centrality.

I've lost control
Guess I'll have to indoctrinate Mackinley in the ways of Michigan, as Sydnie might be a lost cause. 
Please keep all "Michigan" and "lost cause" jokes to yourself. Thank you.
Encountering Jesus
Not much activity on the blog as of late, mainly because there has been a lot of activity elsewhere. The past few weeks have brought our oldest heading off to kindergarten, our first partnership (membership) class at CrossPointe Winter Park, and lots of preparation for our fall kickoff. I am really looking forward to Sunday as we kick off a new series entitled ENCOUNTERING JESUS. Along with the series we will be launching 7 Community Groups that will be journeying through a custom written curriculum that corresponds to the series. So thankful for all the leaders God has brought to CPWP. It was fun packing our house with about 30 of them last Monday for a cookout and our final community group leader training!
