Grace and peace to you in this beautiful month of June! Financially, times are still very hard and we are truly struggling to try and
meet the needs of the church, but we move forward in faith and, praise
be to God, He continues to save souls and work in our community and online through Crossroads World Christian Center Church. We are so very blessed to bring you this news and encouragement this month, and we
thank Him for making it possible! In these times of global and economic uncertainty, it is so very important to remember that you are blessed. Remember to rejoice, for even in
difficult times, God is our Protector and Savior! He never gives you anything you can't handle with His help, so when you rejoice in a time of uncertainty, this shows Him that you are strong in your faith
and are grateful for His greatest gift, His precious Son, who took your sins upon himself and sacrificed His life so that you may have eternal and abundant life in God. Hard times can be a test
of your faith. Make sure you pass the test today by rejoicing in the Lord and sharing with others the abundance you DO have.
God rewards His faithful servants, and that IS something you can trust in, always. The reading below reminds us to count the blessings that we, as humans, can sometimes overlook so
easily. Until next month... May God richly bless you and yours always,
Pastor Cory P. Pariseau A Special Reading
Psalm 8:1-9 (NLT)
...O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
You have taught children and nursing infants to give you praise. They silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers- the moon and the stars you have set in place-
what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us?
For you made us only a little lower than God, and you crowned us with glory and honor.
You put us in charge of everything you made, giving us authority over all things-
the sheep and the cattle and all the wild animals,
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.
O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!
