From the Pastor's Desk

A special message this Sunday and other various updates.

View this email in your browser What a great 5 years! Can you believe it's been 5 years since my family & I moved to West Monroe, LA to pastor here at Cypress Street?! Time has flown, a lot has happened and I'm excited to look back (and forward!!) this Sunday. Don't miss the "state of the church" address :) If you can't be with us, look for us on Facebook Live about 10:20am. There's a couple other things I'd like to make you aware of... The first is that my family & I will leave Monday to attend an international convention of the Church of God being held in Orlando, FL. We are told this will be the largest gathering we've had in a very long time so please pray with us that the Holy Spirit would use this as a time of renewal amongst our pastors and leaders who attend. We also appreciate your prayers for our family as we go. The other thing to mention is that our online giving provider recently updated their platform. If you've already been using it, you don't need to do anything different. But hopefully you'll find it to be a nicer experience. For anyone interested, check out the video below or just go to CypressStreet.Church/give. As always, thank you for your generosity that keeps our ministries going!

This week: a special Sunday and a special offering.

View this email in your browser Pentecost Sunday. About 50 days after Easter, the Church celebrates the day of Pentecost. It's a big day in the church's history. If Christmas is Jesus' birthday, Pentecost is His Church's birthday. It's the day the first disciples received the Holy Spirit and began publicly proclaiming the gospel of Jesus' life, death and resurrection.  This Sunday, we're setting aside a week to celebrate and remember our beginning and what it tells us about who we are and what we do. A big part of that is a missional call to Go and to Send. As part of our celebration, we'll all have an opportunity to give toward a special offering to help underwrite missionaries, especially those trying to raise funds to go onto the mission field.  See you Sunday, Pastor Neil Copyright © 2019 Cypress Street Church of God, All rights reserved.
