親愛的匯點人，

這個星期，我鼓勵你用一些時間，回顧神在你生命和家人身上的祝福！我深信，在困難的環境下我們會更了解神的供應，庇護和祂在我們身上的計劃。讓我們停下來，感謝和稱頌祂在過去一年的奇妙恩典！

我相信很多會眾會在感恩節長週末外出。請為他們在路上平安禱告，也讓他們有機會從繁忙工作和家庭生活問題上恢復身心健康。對於那些在星期日留守的，不要忘記出席在星期日下午3時的會員大會。我們將會分享我們目前的教會狀況，以及未來一年的發展。我們需要你們的禱告，支持和參與，推動匯點做神的工作！

這個星期四晚上，Brick小組將會在Foyer舉行音樂佈道會，特別會有我們匯點的Encounter樂隊，時間是晚上8:30pm。即使它主要的對象是大學生，請你利用這個機會邀請未信的朋友和同事到教會。求上帝的手親自帶領整個福音佈道會！

祈禱事項：

1. 感謝讚美主，雖然我們正在經濟低迷的時期，祂仍然賜予我們各種各樣的恩典與祝福。祈求神讓我們擁有從祂而來的喜樂和平安，好使我們能夠繼續面對每天的挑戰。
2. 請為今日的會員大會禱告，祈求神在我們當中，繼續讓我們見証和經歷祂的恩典和奇妙的作為。祈求神讓我們有合一的心，去創造一個人與神的交匯點，去尋找神所造我們的目的，去用神的愛感染這個世界。
3. 請為教牧同工禱告，求神讓他們更明白會眾和領袖同工們的需要，並讓他們能清楚的知道從神而來的帶領。亦祈求神堅固他們的身心靈，好讓他們能夠帶領和鼓舞會眾，去完成神在匯點的工作。
4. 祈求神讓我們擁有對社區需要的觸覺，並讓我們學習透過行動和禱告，去表示我們對社區的關懷。
5. 請繼續為尋找牧師和青少年牧師禱告。祈求神為我們預備合適的人選，去幫助教牧同工，並發展教會的事工。

Dear Crosspoint basic

May I encourage you to find sometimes this week to reflect on God’s blessings upon your life and your family! I strongly believe that tough environment would further push us to appreciate more God’s provision, protection as well as His providential plan for our life. Pause for a moment to thank Him and praise His wonderful grace we have experienced throughout the year!

I foresee that many of our folks would be on the road due to the Thanksgiving long weekend. Let’s pray that God would give them road mercy and a chance to recuperate from stress of work and family issues. For those who will be in town this weekend, don’t forget to plan for attending our membership meeting this Sunday afternoon at 3. We will share with you our current church status and we are planning to do in the coming year. We need your prayer, support and participation in moving Crosspoint forward doing God’s work!

This Thursday evening, Brick group will host a music evangelistic meeting at our foyer featuring our band, Encounter beginning at 8:30. Even though it is primarily for college students, you may want to take advantage of this special event to invite your non-believing friends and colleagues to church. Don’t forget to pray for God’s hand working through the whole Gospel presentation!

Prayer requests:

1. Praise and thank God for His manifold blessings to all of us even in such a economic down turn of the country. Pray that we would have the joyful spirit and the peace from our Lord while we continue to face life challenges everyday.
2. Pray the membership meeting on the 29th that we would continue to witness God’s grace and wonders in our midst. Pray that we will unite our heart in creating “crosspoints” between man and God, seeking to discover our purpose for God and impacting the world with the love of God.
3. Pray for the pastoral staff that they would become more sensitive to the needs of the congregation and the leadership and guidance from the Lord. Pray that they would be spiritually strong so that they may lead and inspire the whole congregatioin accomplishing God’s will for Crosspoint.
4. Pray for our awareness to the needs of our community. Pray that we would learn to demonstrate our care through actions and prayer.
5. Pray for our continue search for a pastor and a youth minister. Pray that God would send the right people to help minister and develop the ministry of the church.
