Dwight's Monthly Letter, Sept 2010

This is one of my favorite times of year . . . the end of summer, the beginning of fall, and football – college and NFL. I’m a big Buckeyes fan, and they are predicted to do very well this year. I’m looking forward to those Sunday and Monday night games, with a couple of Thursday night games thrown in. It is just a great time of year. So it is here at NewPointe, where we are making changes to accommodate growth.

• Sept 12 – Our Millersburg campus will be starting a second service with service times at 9 and 11 a.m.
• Sept 12 – I’ll be sharing about what’s coming up and about the unbelievable opportunities God is putting before NewPointe. You won’t want to miss this Sunday!
• Sept 19 – We kick off our fall series called Snapshots. What is it in life that causes us to look at snapshot moments and ignore the bigger story? This will be a great invest and invite series, so be sure to leverage it.
• Sept 19 – The object of our faith is too small. By this I mean we have incorrect assumptions or misappropriated trust. To help combat this, we must understand who God really is and how He is worthy of our faith, and everything else is not. Faith in God produces amazing hope.
• Sept 26 – Lies or life’s choices. We need to know how to spot lies and identify the truth. This sets us up on a path to make better decisions in life and to see every decision as connected to the bigger story of life. No single choice is isolated; they are all interconnected. Believing one lie affects everything.
• Oct 3 – Unexplainable circumstances. Let’s face it, bad stuff does happen to good people – more often than we like to admit. So how do we respond when the unexpected in our lives is undeserved?
• Oct 10 - We’re kicking off a brand-new outreach called FX – Family Xperience. This is for families with kids in kindergarten through grade 5, and it’s at the Dover campus on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 3 to 6 p.m. There will be two KidStuf shows at 4:10 and 5:10 p.m. The Café, Playland and Auditorium will be open, plus football will be on the big screens. 

This fall at NewPointe will be one of the most exciting. Maybe you were not attending NewPointe when we relocated from Sugarcreek to where we are now, and you missed out on the thrill, excitement, etc. of it all. What is coming promises to be as big, if not bigger.
