WEEKEND UPDATE (121309)

Great weekend at Crossroads despite torrential rain and "scary movie" foggy weather.  Here's a few quick hits from a great Sunday at Crossroads:

1. GREAT turnout yesterday!  I love that some of our biggest crowds are on days we have the crummiest weather.
2. TONS of first-time attenders and visitors.
3. Several people made decisions to rededicate their lives to Christ!
4. Got to lead worship for the first time in a LONG time.  It was great!  We had about twenty musicians and singers on the platform.  Glad it didn't collapse.
5. Doobie Brothers should ALWAYS be in our worship set.
6. As much fun as it was, we are REALLY BLESSED to have the awesome young people we have leading worship at Crossroads.  It is a job for people who are young in spirit AND flesh!
7. Lobby team did a GREAT job yesterday.  They were definitely undermanned, but really came through with a great lobby experience for everyone!
8. Pastor Matt did a GREAT job bringing the message yesterday!  I look forward to him doing it again!  Way to go, Matt!
9. Tons of comments from folks on Matt's message on Communication Cards.  He's a great storyteller.
10. Single Parent Oil Change was AWESOME!  Our crew lead by Todd Waggerman and Will Reeves braved the crummy weather to make it all work.  Great job guys!
11. Kudos to all who gave and participated and to Nat Lurie for bringing Santa For Senior home yesterday.  A TON of work, but 50 area seniors are going to have a GREAT Christmas.

I know I'm forgetting five or six things I wanted to write about, but I gotta hit the trail.  My trailer is loaded down with all the Santa for Seniors loot and we're taking it to the distribution point this morning.  I'll post an addendum to this blog later.  Have a GREAT day!
