FIREWORKS AND FISH!

Hey guys, trust your week is going exactly the direction God had in mind for it.  As for me, lots of work, lots of meetings, some opportunities to pray with others, some study, some teaching and heading into a big, big weekend at Crossroads.  If somehow you have not yet heard, this Saturday is FREEDOM FEST at Fort Rucker.  For the third year in a row, Crossroads will have an AWESOME booth there, giving us the opportunity to mingle and connect with our community, and do a bit of fundraising by selling bottled water and cotton candy.  This event is always a blast so don't miss out!  We'll be setting up from 9AM forward, and the festivities really crank up between 4PM and 10PM.  All that and fireworks, too!  We definitely need some folks to stick around and help tear down.  That's usually the part where everyone is worn out and wants to go home.  So hang in there and pitch in.  Many hands make light work.

Sunday morning at the cinema we're kicking off a brand new series called 'DEADLIEST CATCH'.  No, it's not all about crabs, crab pots, crab cakes, crab boats, or crabby people - and it doesn't even take place in the Bering Sea.  But it is a 'whale of a tale'.  About 750 BC, a guy named Jonah ran from God in the same way that people have run from God in the centuries since.  God "reached out to him" in a spectacular way!  But more amazing than the whole "swallowed by a large fish and living for three days and nights thing", is the reality that God didn't catch Jonah so He could punish him.  He chased him down not to PAY him back, but to WIN him back, and BRING him back.

The story says, "God prepared a fish for Jonah".  Come see what God has prepared for you at Crossroads this Sunday at 9AM and 10:30AM.  Scuba gear optional.  Harpoons strongly discouraged.  See you there!
