| Crosspoint
believes that missions, both local and overseas, is a vital and important
ministry. We have an ongoing Missions Committee that leads the church's
missionary efforts. Over the years, many of our Crosspoint people
have participated in short term missions adventures. As recent as
August 2008, two teams from Crosspoint worked in Mozambique. During
our summer children's program, the kids personalized soccer balls
that were presented to Mozambique children by our teams, as well as
several sets of soccer uniforms donated by the Fredericton District
Soccer Association. It is also our privilege to support two career
missionaries.
We believe in
giving back to our community through involvement in the Food Bank,
Soup Kitchen, Transition House, and other local benevolences.
Crosspoint is
also heavily involved in Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan's
Purse. Pastor Conard Symonds is the Regional Coordinator, and Crosspoint
is the collection site for central New Brunswick.
Our Ladies Work
Circle is a very active group of women who meet monthly to serve
others by engaging in activities such as wrapping bandages for overseas
hospitals, knitting mitts and hats for the local elementary school,
and raising funds for many specific projects, both local and overseas.
