Who’s the Boss?😷
Hello, Church Family!
As of this week, the Pasadena Health Department has reinstated the mask mandate for everyone while indoors in public spaces. We understand that there are so many differences of opinion about everything nowadays. It can get confusing, but God’s Word makes things simple and clear for us.
How will we handle this:
- We’ll meet.
- We’ll worship.
- We’ll mask up.
Here is why. 👉🏼 God tells us to do so.
God's Word tells us that everyone should be subject to the governing authorities. God is the source of all authority. He has ordained the authority of government even though many of them abuse and misuse that authority.
We should obey and submit to their laws unless their laws violate God's Word. Pay taxes, show respect, and give honor to those who are in authority. (See Romans 13:1-3, 5, 7)
If they tell us to do something God has told us not to do or vice versa (see Acts 5:29 and surrounding verses), God’s law supersedes theirs. Until then, we will just continue loving each other and pray for all that are in authority.
See you Sunday!!
What is your Next Step?
If you have not attended a Starting Point/membership class with Pastor Phillip, now's the time! We know it has been a long time since the last one (due to COVID). Since there are quite a few people who need to attend, we are offering two options— one on consecutive Wednesdays in August 11, 18, 25 (attend all 3 during the 7 pm Growth Group hour) or one Saturday, September 11 from 10 am - 1 pm (do it all in one day).
Learn what it means to be a member of the local church. You’re part of a body, and we are all working together for the faith of the Gospel. How do you fit in, and how can you make a difference right here in our church and community?
“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.” Romans 12:5
Choose the option that works best for you!

Register here!
August 29: Baptism Sunday! There are several who have stepped forward saying they have accepted Christ as their Savior and are wanting to follow the Lord in believer’s baptism.🙌 We will be baptizing that Sunday at both the 10:30am and 5pm gatherings. If you have accepted Christ and plan to get baptized that day, you can let us know right here.

Important stuff 😉:
- ‼️ 😷 As of Monday, July 29, the city of Pasadena has reinstated the mask mandate. Please remember to wear a mask as you come to church.
- We have started a Prayer Team! If you would like to be added to the team and receive notifications of specific prayer requests so you can "bear one another's burdens," simply text PRAY to 855-955-4585.
- Who are you going to bless this week? Reach out to one another via text, call, or FaceTime, and get together with an individual to share Christ’s love (Christian or non-Christian). 😊 Satan would love to divide us. Be careful to be looking out for others and sharing Jesus with people who don’t know Him.
- Let us know if you or someone you know has a need.🙏
- Let’s remember to give financially through our tithes and offerings so the work of the church can continue. You can give online @ crosspoint.la/give or through the app. If you would prefer to text your monetary gift, simply text GIVE to (424) 343-2378. You can also mail checks to:
