Hello Everyone,
I hope you’re having a great week. I am keeping all of you in prayer almost every day. Can you please let me know how I can pray for you? We have a form here where you can share your prayer requests or you can send me a message directly with your prayer requests. James 5:16 says, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Who are some people you pray for? Who are some people who pray for you? We could all use more prayer in our lives.
This year we have seen our student ministry take off with more events than we’ve had in years, and students are excited about the events. One of the reasons for this is because of help from all the parents. Another reason is because we’ve had some students step up as leaders. Those student leaders were formed as a result of our mission trip and VBS serving opportunities. We have several opportunities for students to serve and become leaders this summer. Please take a look below for the sign ups for those opportunities!
Are you considering getting baptized but you don’t know how to write a testimony? Please also consider coming to our class on how to write a testimony. This will take place this Sunday, March 12th after worship with me. If you have not attended our pre-baptism class you will need to watch the recording before the class.
In Christ,
Pastor Caleb Hankin
Youth Minister
Crosspoint Church of Silicon Valley
"Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ." Philippians 3:8

As the 12th graders will be leaving for college, Pastor Caleb would like to spend some time with them in the woods before they embark on a new journey. We will be driving around Yosemite, enjoying God's creation, and taking a few hikes. We will also have devotions in the mornings and evenings, including prayer, reading of the word, and singing, sharing and focusing on preparing the students for college.
