CROSSPOINT @ COLONIAL PARK—<br />
WORSHIP AT 8:00, 9:30 AND 11:00 A.M. by Dave Biser<br />
We’ve celebrated Easter and moved right into the heart of Spring together. What an exciting<br />
time of the year. And how exciting it is to see all of the things that are happening<br />
each week at CrossPoint @ Colonial Park. Sunday mornings are filled with great worship<br />
and biblical teaching. Wild Wednesday’s have the building jumping with food, rehearsals,<br />
children and middle school student events, Bible study taught by Pastor Dave, and more. There is a new<br />
air of excitement and a new spirit driven energy that is contagious. The building phase of the NEXT Project is<br />
completed and the worship center looks great. All we need to do is finish raising the final $15,000 needed to replenish<br />
the Capital Fund monies used to pay it forward. And now there is a new Sunday morning education opportunity<br />
happening at 11:00 for those folks who attend the new 9:30 service. Invite your friends to see what God is doing at<br />
Colonial Park…it’s nothing shy of Incredible!<br />
FINDING YOUR WAY @ COLONIAL PARK<br />
On February 26 th the Colonial Park campus made the switch in worship times and the<br />
contemporary service moved from Sholter Hall to the Worship Center. Below are the answers<br />
to a few commonly asked questions.<br />
� What is the preaching schedule?<br />
There is now only one preacher @ Colonial Park every week. The pastor preaching<br />
for the day speaks at all three services. Pastor Dave is the primary preacher @ Colonial Park. He will be preaching<br />
in the worship center three times a month. Pastor Jen will be preaching the third Sunday of the month. Pastor<br />
Jen will be preaching at Rutherford on average two times a month and will be at South Hanover at least<br />
quarterly.<br />
� Why is there a half hour between education time, 9:15-10:30, and worship at 11:00?<br />
While education is over at 10:30, we still need 30 minutes to reset and transition the worship center from the<br />
blended 9:30 service to the contemporary at 11:00. Many churches already have this schedule of a half hour<br />
interim to give people enough time to end class, rest, visit with friends and grab a cup of coffee before heading<br />
into worship.<br />
� When is education time?<br />
Education for children, youth and adults is still offered at 9:15 a.m. A few adults have expressed interest in an<br />
education class at 11:00 a.m. If you are interested please contact Helen Patrick at hpatrick@xpointumc.org.<br />
� The doors are sometimes closed to the Worship Center; am I allowed to enter?<br />
A lot of transition takes places between each worship service. The musicians need time to check the sound system<br />
and prepare to offer you the best possible worship experience. This is your church and you may still enter<br />
the space, we ask that you please be patient with the musicians who need a quiet room to properly set the<br />
sound equipment.<br />
Change is never easy. We believe that the new worship space provides one distinct area for worship and allows time<br />
for community building in the hallways and lobby. Please be patient with your church as we work out the kinks of<br />
the new sound system and the new traffic patterns throughout the building and the grounds.
