Much to celebrate from this weekend at Crossroads! The weather was just beautiful as we pressed in to our very first Sunday of two services. Here's just a few of the things I noticed on Sunday:
- GREAT turnout for both services. I was blown away by how many got up and out the door for the 9:00AM service!
- Tons of energy in the room. I think everyone was engaged in what was going on and excited to be there!
- Several people rededicated their lives to Christ on Sunday morning!
- Will and Chris's opening video about not having an opening video was hysterical.
- Later in the service, the Bill Dance fishing blooper video actually made me laugh my butt completely off. I have no more butt. Too, too funny!
- Love doing a series about our part in reaching people for Christ.
- Quotable quote #1: We speak for Christ when we plead "Come back to God". (Paul in 2 Cor)
- Quotable quote #2: "Think of Crossroads as the spiritual equivalent of Bass Pro Shops".
- Love the Crossroads/Bass Pro Shops artwork. It would make a great T-shirt!
- Quotable quote #3: "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish...and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day".
- Confession: I got totally LOST in the second service on Sunday on several occasions. I think it's probably just a matter of getting used to doing it twice and staying focused. Hang in there, I'll figure it out.
- Definitely going to have more fishing show bloopers next week.
- Thanks to EVERYONE who dug in and made Sunday work!!!
If I had a chance to add something to Sunday's service it would be this: Crossroads began with a vision to reach those who are not reached with the Gospel. It's YOU and ME that are going to do the reaching. One person, one conversation, one relationship, one invitation at a time. This week remember to share YOUR story with someone, and invite them - not just to church, but to hang out with YOU! After all...you ARE the church.
Have a GREAT week and have a GREAT TIME at small groups this week!!!
