Let's remember what Memorial Day is all about!

When we come as we are to Jesus, we should never stay that way.  Jesus came to seek and save the lost.  Once we have been found by Christ, we take on a new identity.  We become children of God! Our desire should then be to become obedient followers of Christ. 

CenterPoint's new motto is:  Come As You Are...Be Transformed!! 

Romans 12:1& 2 say, "Therefore, I urge you brothers in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.  Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."
