Pictures from 'Party in the Ward'

On February 28th Crossroads celebrated 4 years of existence with an afterparty in the Third Ward. Thanks goes out to Deric, Salisa & everyone else who helped make it a great night!

In Pictures...Sunday After Dark

All ladies are invited this Saturday for breakfast and conversation. For all the details, click here for the Crossroads Calendar.

Sunday After Dark

Thanks to everyone in Crossroads who greeted, ushered, and served Sunday night!

Sunday After Dark begins with a video intro.We were able to learn some great new worship songs Sunday night.

Again, thanks to everyone who helped serve! You are a fantastic first impression to our church.

A surprise from the evening was how many people wanted to purchase the Crossroads shirt. Kids from 10 years old to adults in their 40's, numerous people all wanted to identify with us via wearing our clothing. Then it struck me. Are kids looking up to us as cool? As role models? Parents asked me if they could purchase our shirts for their kids, and I agreed, stating that they would be a walking billboard for Crossroads. Perhaps people older and younger do look up to us. Perhaps many in our community are role models for the church as a whole. Perhaps this influence is a gift from God. Sunday After Dark left me with the perception that this indeed is our reality. May we model character, servanthood, and crazy good times for the next generation.

Celebrate 4 Years of Crossroads...

The New Crossroads shirts are in, and they're hot. Put one on for $10, and you'll be hot too. Plus, you'll be able to help us serve this Sunday, March 4th at Sunday After Dark. If you have an interest in greeting, ushering, or helping in the cafe, contact me!

Today is a day of prayer and fasting at the church, and you're invited to participate! The prayer room is open all day until 9pm, and I will be in there from 7-8pm tonight.

Just in from Sunburst...

A manager from Sunburst Ski Area called me this morning, and informed me they will be closing the ski hill today, and cancelled our outing. Perhaps we will try for a later date. Stay warm and safe this weekend, and see you tomorrow in Sunday School! We have a great topic about the 'off road' discipline of humility.

Coffee this Friday...

Brandi Rouse would like to invite you to...Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop (right off Ryan Road, just east of 27th Street) this Friday from 7-9pm. Enjoy entertainment, fellowship, friends, and of course the opportunity to buy some drinks.

Stay up to date on the activities of Crossroads with the new Crossroads Calendar! You will find the link for the calendar on the links to the right, and in your weekly e-mail. Your feedback is welcome.

More Reading On Heaven...

The reaction to last night has led me to believe that there is a lot of interest on the topic of Heaven. Thus, here are some links with some good reading on the subject from Author Randy Alcorn.

Sean Bolli on a mission...

Sean Bolli, who starting attending Crossroads in 2006 left this past fall for an internship with 'YWAM' or Youth With A Mission. He went through several months of training, and how he's getting hands-on experience in the Dominican Republic. He wrote to me this morning that he's been ministering in orphanages, to those who have leprosy, and even prostitutes. Join me in asking God to use Sean in big ways. Sean will return home later this spring.

Baby Boom Continues...

In case you haven't noticed, everybody is having babies! There are 7 expecting couples in Crossroads, and I couldn't be prouder of this group. Strong marriages, strong commitment to Christ and to each other is going to lead to some above-average kids! The latest...
Matt Kessler holds Brooke Kessler! Brooke arrived to Matt & Cessiah Kessler on Monday.
Shane Birr holds Serena Renee Birr! Serena was born to Shane & Anitra Birr on January 6!

Very Interesting...

I'm not responsible for the following link, but I find this counter voice long over-due. www.slicedlaodicea.com.

I'll have more to say on this when I return from Hawaii!
