Joe Sangl taught 620 interested students on the importance of money management using a biblical approach. 91 PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR INDIVIDUAL COACHING WITH ONE OF OUR FINANCIAL LEARNING COACHES. Care Ministry This ministry helps our church as well as our community by providing physical, emotional and spiritual support. This is accomplished in three ways: Meal Ministry provides meals to individuals or families in times of need related to surgery, hospital stay, benevolence, birth of a child or death of a loved one. Visitation Ministry provides visits and prayer to individuals in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and Hospice. Prayer Ministry provides extensive daily prayer for any prayer requests provided to the church or anyone receiving care from our Meal and Visitation ministries.

7 W WEEKEND SERVICES Celebrating Life-Change in 2016 At Crosspoint we want to celebrate the stories of those who have experienced life change. And, to do that, we celebrate the numbers.

B The purpose of the Buddy Ministry is to facilitate the inclusion of children with special needs by providing a safe, loving, and Christ centered environment within Crosspoint Kids. Each volunteer, or buddy is trained and paired with a child so that the parents can have the opportunity to worship distraction and worry free. Our buddies also provide support and encouragement to the families of those with special needs. Since the inception of the program in 2014, we have seen amazing growth. The ministry currently has 16 children who depend on the love and support of 16 buddies.

Nineteen of those students chose to take their faith to the next level and were baptized during the year.

11 B #BLESS10 In August Crosspoint Church celebrated a huge milestone; 10 years of life change in Hernando County. In true Crosspoint fashion we opted to give, instead of receive for our anniversary. We selected 10 ways to give back to the community during the month. Life-Change Happens Here Bless Challenger- Along with our annual Feed the Teachers event that the Crosspoint Staff puts on for our CK8 teachers, we also blessed the school with a financial contribution. CPK Backpack Blitz-We collected and distributed filled backpacks to benefit children at Spring Hill Elementary School. CPK Serve Challenge-CPK families were encouraged to participate in one of many outreach activities that could be accomplished as a family, all while sharing God s love. Blessing Hernando County Law Enforcement- We provided gift cards for deputies to have a free lunch while on patrol. With the generosity of Glen Lakes Country Club we also provided box lunches to support staff too! Water Bottle Handout- We handed out cases of Zephyrhills water to area parks and businesses, showing God s love in a practical way. Painting project- We sent a team out to work on a house painting project. The homeowner was very grateful. Construction project-a team of skilled servants constructed a wheelchair ramp that made a young family s daily struggle much more manageable. Seniors Serve-We sang songs, did arts and crafts and played games with the lovely seniors at Evergreen Woods Retirement Center. Food Bank Donation- We collected an enormous amount of non-perishables to help the fine folks at Jericho Road Ministries fill their food pantry. Baptism Celebration- We wrapped up our month- long celebration with 19 folks taking the next step in their faith. What a way to end the year! We continue to praise God for the work He is doing in and through you in impacting your community and world. I feel so blessed to be at Crosspoint and I am so excited about my new journey!! Never felt so strong in my faith. Thank You!
