ChangePoint Update June 2010

ChangePoint NewsFlashes

This Summer

Community BBQs – One significant way we intend to Enjoy God Together this summer is to utilize Community BBQs to meet and/or get to know better the people within our smaller Anchorage communities.  With 36 hosted communities so far, and more in the works, everyone in our church has opportunity to spend time and eat with neighbors who also attend ChangePoint and reach out to those who do not.  Please visit our website for more information about how you can become a part of this movement that already includes more than 1,000 people.

Deep Symbols – Our sermon series for the summer is titled “Deep Symbols”.  We hope you look forward to Being Transformed Together through this series.  For those weekends you are out of town, we encourage you to come back early enough to take in the Sunday night service at 6:00 or listen to the message online later in the week.

Middle School Activities – For the first time ever, we will have weekly summer middle school activities for students who are going into 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.  The theme is Youth Rejoice 2010, and meetings will be on Wednesday nights in June and July from 6:30 – 8:30.  This is another opportunity for our students to engage in Being Transformed Together.  Register online.

Missions Opportunities – Our EPIC High School ministry is sending a team of students and leaders on a missions trip to inner city Chicago from June 22 – July 4.  This is part of our effort to give students an opportunity to Demonstrate the Heart of Christ Together locally, nationally, and/or internationally during their 4 years in our EPIC program.

There are also 3 opportunities for adults to Demonstrate the Heart of Christ Together in bush Alaska this summer with our Outreach partner Arctic Barnabas.  Please visit our website for more information.

 Vacation Bible School – Back by popular demand:  July 12 – 16, 6:00 – 8:30 pm.  Visit the website for more information and to see how you can help.

Your Involvement – We encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities and others you see on our monthly calendar, on our web page, on our facebook page, and in our weekly video announcements.  (Don’t know what video announcements are?  Visit the web page to view and sign up!).  Please also stay engaged financially over the summer even if you are out of town.  Online giving makes it easy!

 Next Ministry Year

What to Expect – Ministry planning for next year is complete.  Expect to see us:

  • Launch a Love Your Neighbor campaign
  • Provide opportunities for you as we look for ways to expand ministry to bush Alaska
  • More leadership development and small group opportunities.

Balloon Payment, June 2011 – We are asking you to Pray, Plan and Participate in this during the coming year.  For more information go online or pick up a handout at the information kiosk in the Commons.  You can start now or participate during our 2 promotions in October 2010 and April 2011.
