What a HUGE and completely ZOMBILICIOUS day at Crossroads on Sunday! It was like a three-ring, Christ-centered, biblically-based, ZOMBIE Circus of love. If you were there, you know what I mean. If you were not, we have three more weeks of ZOMBIE-MANIA coming up! Plus you can catch all the ZOMBIE action at our on-line podcast at the website. It'll be up this afternoon. Here's a few quick takes on the weekend:
- Several people made decisions to re-dedicate their lives to Christ! THAT is the most important thing that happened.
- Biggest crowd EVER at Crossroads on Sunday morning with 291 people in the house!
- Biggest sanctuary crowd ever with 227 in Cinema One!
- Pajama party in the Filling Station was a great idea and huge fun for all the elementary kids!
- The lobby was slammed and absolutely electric!
- So MANY first, second and third time attenders! ROADIES are inviting machines and attendance is snowballing! (For those who have never seen snow, ask a friend from North of the Mason-Dixon line what the expression 'snowballing' means).
- Worship was GREAT! The new song the worship band ended with was fantastic. Janna sang her face off, and over a dozen comments on the communication cards let us know Crossroads loved it!
- Best part about worship: Hearing SO MANY people singing out loud!
- Many thanks to Darryl Darrylson of Flint, Michigan for dragging his Zombie butt to Crossroads yesterday. Looking mysteriously similar to Youth Pastor Chris Brooks, Darryl was a HUGE hit! If we can get a few Zombie contract issues worked out...I think we'll see him again in a couple of weeks.
- Yesterday was the most FUN I ever had at Crossroads!
- The service was like a runaway freight train. So much energy and inertia, so much going on all at once, it was right on the EDGE of completely out of control, yet 100% useful!! Perfect.
So much to share about Sunday morning, so much to take away from the service, but the big thing is this: Go FORWARD this week into your world allowing the Spirit to renew your THOUGHTS and your ATTITUDES, and LIVE each day like the NEW MAN you are, created to be like God - truly righteous and holy!
Remember every day this week to: WAKE UP...RISE UP...and LIGHT UP!!! Love and peace to all. Have a GREAT week!!
