Center Pointe family,

It feels like SPRING!  I hope you have made some time to soak in a little sunshine by being outside at lunch break or taking the kids for a walk! I am glad for Spring because it always reminds me of God’s faithfulness to bring new life.  Question: Where have you seen God bring new life for you and your family recently?
There are a few things going on that you will need to take note of from this week’s CP Update and now you can also view an events calendar online and look at upcoming events by going to www.centerpointecma.com/events. There you will have access to Center Pointe’s Calendar so that you can stay in the loop! – Clint Bieri, Church Planting Resident

Here are this week’s updates!

To get ready to hear the Word this weekend take a read through and ask Jesus to show you something from his word and then come and listen to Dave this weekend and Worship with the rest of the Center Pointe Family.
