Clemson Scavenged and Crosspoint Discovered

Sunday, September 18th was our first Discovering Crosspoint of the Fall semester, and it was a huge success. God is blessing our fellowship tremendously with numerous individuals from every walk of life who are excited about pursuing the mission of God locally and globally as a part of the Crosspoint body of believers. With approximately fifty attendees at the two-session event Sunday, the Crosspoint pastors (Ken, Jeremy and Jason) led the group through sessions that included Crosspoint’s History, Crosspoint’s Doctrinal Beliefs, and even Crosspoint’s Church Structure.

During Discovering Crosspoint, attendees hear a biblical presentation of what Christians believe from Scripture, how, historically and practically, Crosspoint has been structured as a church, and why it is important to intentionally and faithfully join together with other believers in a church. Although we would love for everyone who goes through Discovering Crosspoint to become a member of Crosspoint Church, we recognize that God may have something else planned for some of the attendees. So whether or not they end up joining with us, we encourage every one of them to find a biblical, local church that they can join and serve in and through, because we believe that God has called us to pursue him and his mission while in intentional Christian community.

Also last week, the Generation LINK staff was able to take a much-needed break from the busyness of life and spent a fun evening together on a surprise scavenger hunt. The staff was divided into teams, and each team was sent on a search to find different locations around Clemson. At each location, rather than finding a particular item, the teams were instructed to take several pictures documenting their escapades. Some of the highlights of these escapades included taking pictures that depicted the essence of fall, taking personality pictures based on the personality of each member of the group, taking pictures with feet off of the ground, and, my personal favorite, taking awkward pictures. Everyone enjoyed the time getting to know each other and having fun, and the best part is that several awesome pictures were taken throughout the course of the night (if you have Facebook and are friends with any of the Generation LINK staff, then you may see some of these pictures in the coming weeks).
