A Note from Pastor Vondie | May 2025

Hi! I have some things I don’t want you to miss…
Record-Breaking Easter Celebration! I am overjoyed to announce that this Easter Sunday was one for the record books! The Lord brought 710 people through our doors to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ, plus many more joining us online from their homes. Last year, we celebrated our biggest Easter with 612 in attendance. What a difference a year makes.

Like the stone rolled away from the tomb, the barriers that once kept people from church seem to be falling away. Just as the disciples were amazed at the empty tomb, we stand amazed at how God continues to work in our community. This record attendance isn't just a number – it represents 710 hearts open to hearing the Good News and countless opportunities for lives to be transformed by God's grace. The empty tomb still draws people to Jesus.

As Mother's Day approaches on May 11th, we pause to celebrate the women who have shaped our lives with their nurturing spirits and steadfast love. Proverbs 31:28 reminds us, "Her children arise and call her blessed." Mothers are like the Appalachian Mountains that surround us – steady, protective, and bearing the weathering of time with quiet strength and dignity. Whether you're a mother by birth, adoption, or through mentorship, we honor your servant leadership in guiding the next generation. Join us for our special Mother's Day service where we'll recognize these precious women in our congregation.

We will finish off May with Memorial Day. We will take time to remember those who have finished their race and now rest in the arms of our Lord. Like footprints on a well-worn path, the influence of these faithful servants continues to guide our steps even in their absence. We remember not just those who served our country, but all the saints who once filled our seats, taught our Sunday School classes, and built the foundation our church now stands. As Hebrews 12:1 reminds us, we are "surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses" who cheer us on from glory.

Ministry is moving forward at Cross Point!

Love,
Pastor Vondie and Lori
