Fight Club Notes

Here are the study notes from the final "Fight Club" message:

Bible passage - 2nd Corinthians 5:18-21


I. The Fight Club goal: Reconciliation.

A. Reconciliation is NOT...

1. Justifying your actions in the mind of the other person.

2. Being completely UNDERSTOOD.

3. Convincing the other person that he or she was WRONG.

B. The goal of reconciliation is a relationship characterized
by acceptance in spite of PAST offenses and CURRENT differences.

C. You have to decide: Are you going to take a STAND or BUILD a relationship?


SECRET: Reconciliation paves the way to relationship,which paves the way to INFLUENCE.


II. Fight Club strategy: Create a safe relational ENVIRONMENT.

A. Prying and coercing don't work for turtles or PEOPLE.

B. Safe environments are characterized by HUMILITY and ACCEPTANCE.

C. Reconciliation is not primarily about CONFLICT resolution.


III. Fight Club motto: The best defense is NO defense.

Reconciliation often requires that we shoulder the consequences and complications of someone else's decisions

Love and Serve

CrossWalk Kids

Recently...we planted several hundred marigolds in the front of Michaux Manor, then took a tour of the facility and visited with the residents. Ended up with a great cookout at the park!

We felt the work project was a great mix of "loving others" and "serving the world".

More Rice Bowls!

The totals are in for the Rice Bowl money the kids collected…the total…$243.96!! Great job kids! That brings our overall total as a church to $867.25!!

Serve the World!

Communion

We are going to have communion in elders homes at 6:30 pm on May 30th.

The night will consistent of some dessert, casual conversation and a time of reflection and celebration. The evening begins at 6:30pm and ends around 8:30 or 9pm. It's very casual and friendly.

It is open to the whole family, but as a parent, you may want to find a babysitter if you feel your child(ren) might not be ready to occupy themselves for awhile. At our last communion in homes, we tried to match-up some families with kids who could play together during the reflection time.

SIGN UP BY TUESDAY May 27th

Please e-mail us at info@crosswalkchurch.net or sign-up at the information table at CrossWalk this Sunday.
