“I got way more out of it than I expected!”
“I was challenged.”
“Deep friendships formed in our group.”
This is what participants from CrossPoint have said about Rooted and these are the kinds of things you’ll experience when you join.
For more information and to read stories about the impact of Rooted, go to: www.experiencerooted.com/stories
Rooted was a wonderful opportunity for me to explore and deepen the foundation/”roots” of my faith in a small group setting. -Kathy
I found the “Rooted” series to be an excellent review of the Scriptural basics of having a relationship with Jesus. One of the sections that really blessed me was Week 8 ---which deals with “How God views money.” The model of “Give, Save and Spend” was a great refresher on the importance of letting Christ rule over our finances. It is amazing what we can do when we stop by Starbucks less, brew our own coffee, and place the money we would have spent into a jar/piggybank ---then watch it increase and invest it in Kingdom work! By paying attention to how we spend our discretionary income, we can make a huge impact for CrossPoint Church and the cause of Jesus in the Chino area and the world. Every penny makes a big difference for the Lord. -Dan

Global 6K for Water
Hello World Vision Global 6K Participant!
The week is finally here! This Saturday, May 18, is the World Vision Global 6K race at CrossPoint! We are so excited that you have chosen to partner with World Vision to make a difference in the life of a child. So many children will now have access to clean water (153 children so far), thanks to your willingness to participate in this event! It is going to be a wonderful morning—you will certainly be blessed as you walk, run or roll!
Just a few details and reminders before Saturday:
Enter CrossPoint's (6950 Edison Ave, Chino, 91710) parking lot from one of the Fern entrances (green arrows on the map below). Both the Euclid and Edison entrances will be closed for the race. Park along the most north or west parking rows (in the green boxes on the map below) and then head to the courtyard/fountain area to check in.
Check in is from 8:00 am to 8:45
Announcements are from 8:45-9
We will start the race at 9! We will be racing around the church property on a clearly marked course. This will make it oh-so-fun to cheer you on and make it convenient for you to use the restrooms if needed.
Wear the orange World Vision shirt you received in the mail along with the bib of the child you are racing for. If you didn’t receive your shirt in time, any orange shirt will do (but you don’t have to wear orange either)!
When you check in, you will receive a colored arm band based on the speed at which you anticipate you will complete the race at. These colors will help us line you up at the start line, which will space us out along the course.
If you plan to run the whole race, you will receive an orange arm band.
If you plant to run and walk, you will receive a blue arm band.
If you plant to walk the whole race, you will receive a white arm band.
Reminders: No bikes, dogs or roller skates/blades. Only strollers and scooters allowed for children.
There will be a light lunch served after the race as well as a photo booth and yard games set up for you to enjoy.
We are so excited to see you on Saturday!
clean water changes everything
Join thousands of people across the globe in our mission to bring life-changing clean water and fullness of life to children in communities around the world.
Walk, run, or roll* with us at the World Vision Global 6K for Water.
Each registration provides lasting clean water to a child, like the child on your race bib!
*child joggers and strollers or scooters for young children allowed, no bicycles please-see a team leader for questions.
The course will be on the CrossPoint campus.
You can make an impact in many ways! Here’s how:
Join the 6K team!
Support the team fundraising with a pledge for clean water
Volunteer to help at the event (cheer team, water station, traffic control, etc.)
Pray for and encourage team members
Let’s go farther together!
Global 6K Basics
What is the World Vision Global 6K for Water?
It’s an event where people from all around the world come together to walk, run, or roll a 6K on the same day, for the same cause: clean water.
Why 6K?
6 kilometers (3.73 miles) is the average distance people in developing countries walk every day for water that is often unsafe to use or drink. On May 18, every step you take is one they won’t have to!
Why $50?
Every $50 registration fee will equip one person in need with lasting access to clean water through World Vision projects. And thanks to generous donors, participants age 18 and under can register for $25. All participants will receive a shirt, medal and bib in the mail for race day. The shirts are orange (per World Vision, the color of hope) and each bib is unique as they have the name, age and photo of the child you are individually running or walking for.
Who is World Vision?
World Vision is the leading nongovernmental provider of clean water in the developing world. We reach one new person every 10 seconds and three more schools every day with clean water, and we’re committed to reaching everyone, everywhere we work by 2030.
Easter At CrossPoint
We’re looking forward to celebrating Easter with you!
Our service begins at 9:30 am and you do not want to miss the opening trumpet call! We have plenty of parking, but come early to allow time to get inside and find a seat. When you arrive at CrossPoint Church, look for the orange welcome signs to guide you into the parking lot and building!
On Easter Sunday, children ages 5 and older are in worship with us; we have lots of kids here and we will provide an activity bag for them during service. CP Littles nursery is provided for ages 0-5 with secure check-in and certified childcare staff.
After the service, join us for the egg hunt and stay for fellowship with our community. We can’t wait to see you on Easter Sunday!
Stations of The Cross
The stations posters are currently installed in the CrossPoint worship center and you can walk through at any time. Find our guided devotional by station 1 near the back center entrance doors.
Dedicated Stations of the Cross during Holy Week will be on Wednesday, March 27 from 7:30 AM-8:30 PM.
We invite you to a time of reflection at the Stations of the Cross. Christianity has always held the death and resurrection of Jesus as the most central part of the story of God. The Stations of the Cross began with early Christians retracing Jesus’ final steps in Jerusalem up to the hill where He was crucified. During this season of Lent, we reflect on the cross as we look forward to Easter. The stations in the worship center have elements, ideas, and objects from Jesus’ journey during Holy Week. Come to be renewed at the foot of the cross.

Jesus is our friend, our King, our reason to live fully alive. He fills our longings. He heals our wounds. He saves us from ourselves. He gives us hope when everything else fails us. As we look at the last ten years and onto the next ten, we can’t deny that all of this is because of Jesus.
IF:2024 is a space for us to remember who Jesus is and why we love him. For two days, let’s rediscover the person of Jesus, who is alive and wants to take us on an adventure toward full life. And then, let’s go give Him away to the whole world.

Team Meeting Date: February 4 from 11:30 - 2:30
Pre-Build: Saturday, February 10
Meet at CrossPoint Church - Lunch is provided
What is CrossPoint’s Mexico Loft House Build?
It is an effort to help provide a safe, dignified house to a family in need near Ensenada, Mexico
(90 minutes south of the border). CrossPoint partners with a nonprofit organization called Hands of Mercy (HOM). HOM helps churches build loft houses and facilitates weekend and short-term, cross-cultural ministry opportunities. Children and adults in a family are encouraged to serve together and there are no age restrictions. Learn more about HOM at handsofmercy.com
What is involved?
Team members attend a team building/training meeting prior to the mission trip. The prebuild is then done on a Saturday, and the following weekend or shortly thereafter, the team travels to the designated location to deliver and erect the loft house.
What abilities does one need to have?
No expertise is needed. People will show you what to do. No need to speak Spanish. However, passports are required.
What do you provide the people who are to live in the house?
Besides the actual house, the family is given a care package, Bible and prayer at the completion of the mission. The care package includes basic food items such as rice and beans and other staples. We provide sleeping bags and blankets made by our church's quilting group. We also provide a stove and propane tank. And every family receives an audio Bible.
How do I sign up? How much does it cost?
Cost is $100 per person with a maximum of $300 per person payable when you register. Additional donations can be made to help cover the cost of supplies. You can also simply help with the pre-build if you are not able to go to Mexico for the trip.
Is it safe?
Yes, it is safe. Although we can't guarantee safety, we take precautions such as traveling in groups, avoiding troublesome areas, and not traveling in the late evening in Mexico.
Where can one get answers to more questions?
The team members at the information table will be able to answer your questions or you can contact one of the team leaders. Pray for God’s calling in being part of this team!
How can one pray for this ministry and mission trip?
Pray for safety at the border and while traveling and working. Pray that the family that receives the home would understand this comes from God's love for them.
