WEEKEND UPDATE (Late, Late Edition)

Hey guys, crazy busy day today so the weekend is getting updated well into early Monday evening.  It was a stellar day at Crossroads that started well and ending way beyond expectation.  We wrapped up our year-opening, life-direction series 2010 on Sunday and then headed over to the Annex where 200 people showed up for lunch and GROUPLINK!  What an incredible way to kick off the Spring Semester of small groups at Crossroads!  I didn't expect that kind of turnout.  My bad.  Next GROUPLINK before our Fall Semester we'll be meeting at the new Enterprise Civic Center.  

You know, this series we just finished was a powerful look at the difference between what we THINK and what we DO, between Life-INTENTIONS and Life-DIRECTON.  It was also a call to CONGREGATE rather than ISOLATE.  I thought instead of rambling on about what I thought, I'd share with you some comments from our communication cards on Sunday:

• "We felt like you were talking directly to us".
• "Worship was really AWESOME!"
• "Praise God for Crossroads!"
• "Loved the service".
• "Helped me open my eyes and helped to show me that being alone isn't always the best way to go".

One of the great privileges of pastoring Crossroads is reading your comments each week.  Don't ever think they aren't important.  When you have concerns or opinions, we care.  When you have needs, we pray.  When a message moves you to a place of life change and you tell us about it, we are sustained.  Special thanks to Rhonda Childers and Sherry and Joe DeCesare for all their help and hard work to make GROUPLINK a success!  February is going to be an INCREDIBLE month at Crossroads.  What a great way to kick it off!  A new series BE MINE, Financial Peace University, Spring Semester of Small Groups, all as we prepare to go to TWO SERVICES!

Love & Peace.  Have a GREAT week!
