Murphy, schmurphy!

What a great day Sunday! It was so encouraging to see so many people show up to do the work early in the morning, and equally encouraging to see the crowd at Crossroads stay strong after launch.  

We started the first week of our new series LOST, and we couldn't have had MORE technical problems. But everyone did a great job adapting to the difficulties.  I am confident that we'll figure out a way to keep Murphy locked up in the future (or at least have him focused on different areas other than our sound and video).  

Actually, with the sound problems we had, I got to use an old technique I learned many years ago. Growing up in the theatre, I learned how to project my voice using my diaphragm. (When you hear your voice bounce off the back wall, you know everyone in the room can hear you!). It was a lot of fun, and by the grace of God we took a tough situation and really had a fantastic service! It was great connecting with the crowd without a PA. Hey, here's a great take-away from that service for ALL of us: If your pastor can't preach a clear message without a PA, lights and video...he needs to find another job, right?  Ha, ha!  

Roadies, you guys rock!  And I can't imagine how cool this will be to experience when we get the bugs worked out of it!  If you were a first-time attender at Crossroads this week or last week BLESS YOU!  We are working around the clock to make your church experience a pleasant one, and to help you have a quality encounter with the life changing power of God's Word!  

Have a GREAT week and keep coming back!
