Christ Point Events 

The Art of Neighboring sermon series continues this Sunday. Over 100 churches in the Charlotte area are asking the question, “What if we took the second half of the Great Commandment seriously?” This 3-week sermon series will launch a city-wide neighboring movement where we will mobilize the collective body of Christ in our city to live out Jesus’ command to love your neighbor. Please plan to join us!

Men are invited to attend the Men’s Breakfast being held at Maple Street Biscuit Company (8921 Christenbury Parkway) on Saturday, October 19th at 7am. It’s a great time to connect with other men over some great food. High School boys are also invited!

Students are invited to join us this year for Vertex at Camp Cedar Cliff in beautiful Asheville, NC on November 8-10th! It’s a week of summer camp packed into a weekend. Vertex is a specialized retreat getaway for Middle School and High School aged students (current 6th-12th graders). There is Adventure Ball and other camp classics as well as some surprises!

Vertex is sure to be a Christ-centered opportunity to point your student to Jesus by helping them to encounter the life changing power of God and to experience authentic community with their fellow students and group leaders. This will be a weekend for them to remember!

Dates: Friday, November 8th through Sunday, November 10th
Where: Camp Cedar Cliff, Asheville, NC
Cost: $125 per student. Scholarships are available.

On Sunday, November 17th, we will take a break from our regular Sunday morning service and head into the Cox Mill cafeteria for an Operation Christmas Child Packing Party! For ten years now, Operation Christmas Child has delivered shoebox gifts to more than 100 ethnic groups whose population is less than 2% Christian. That’s 8.9 Million decisions for Christ! OCC is all about Evangelism, Discipleship and Multiplication.

We’ve set an audacious goal of packing 200 boxes! Just think of the number of decisions that will come from our joyful service! What do we need from you in order to meet this goal?

1. DONATE: While out and about shopping, please consider picking up items to go into the shoeboxes. Bring them to church with you and you can leave them at the OCC display table.

2. WATCH YOUR INBOX: We’ll be sending out more information regarding how to pack a shoebox, volunteer opportunities and encouraging information between now and November 17th.

3. PRAY: Please begin to pray for God to use our efforts to further His kingdom as we point people to Jesus through OCC. Pray for each child who will receive one of our shoeboxes that they will come to know the transforming power of the word of God. Pray that children, families and communities will be changed because we shared the love of Jesus Christ.

We are starting our next study on the book of Revelation with Pastor Shane Wood starting this Wednesday, October 9th.  

In this series, Shane J. Wood, Ph.D. will help you think critically about the book of Revelation and read it for what the text says and not what you have always been told that it says. Here is the link to the series Right Now Media: https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Speaker/1001241.

Men, if you aren’t already plugged in to our weekly study, this is the perfect time to jump in. We meet on Wednesday morning at 6 am @ Maple Street Biscuit Company (8921 Christenbury Parkway, Concord).

We’d love for you experience authentic community while encountering the transforming power of the word of God with us each Wednesday morning. If you have any questions, shoot us an email by replying to this message or by emailing RussLeJeune@gmail.com.

At Christ Point, we believe one of the ways we point people to Jesus is by experiencing authentic community. Small groups are one way of experiencing biblical community. We study the Word, pray, and share life together. The Christian life is not a solo sport, so we encourage our people to walk together in groups. For more information on how to plug into a small group this fall, please email james@christpoint.com. Currently, we have small groups that meet on Wednesday and Friday nights.

From cover to cover, the Bible is the story of God’s plan to redeem sinners through Jesus—the gospel. Gospel Foundations tells that story. From the creators of The Gospel Project, this is a one year journey through the storyline of Scripture. We will engage in discussion and gain a clear understanding of how each text fits into the storyline of Scripture. Join Russ LeJeune (russ.lejeune@gmail.com) in this adult group Sunday mornings.
