New Community

I am so excited about the Crossroads community.  Doing CHURCH together is one thing (and it's certainly a good thing at Crossroads), but it seems like each day, the more connected people become, the more we begin to share the experience of doing LIFE together.  I wondered what it would feel like.  I think I'm beginning to find out.

Maybe it's getting to share with moms and granddads and couples the joy of bringing new babies into the world.  Maybe it's getting to talk to someone you haven't seen in a few weeks. Maybe it's sharing with another pastor how things are going at Crossroads. Maybe it's hearing how difficult things are for someone and having a chance to pray with them.  Maybe it's hearing about a new job someone just got and being able to rejoice with them.  Maybe it's all of those things.  Maybe it's the growing realization that community is about more than a bunch of people gathering at a movie theatre on Sunday morning.

How much more SPECIAL it is when we DO gather to worship together, when you find that you are emotionally and relationally invested in the lives of the people you're worshipping with!  Together we are experiencing what happens when God forms a new community.  (Not coincidentally, it seems very similar to the birth of a new child!)   

Call someone from Crossroads tomorrow and tell them you love them.  And invite someone you don't know to celebrate with us on Sunday!
