ROAD TRIP & TEASER!

Tomorrow Leslie and I will be attending a one-day conference at Newspring Church in Anderson, SC.  So excited to be going there!  Perry Noble, Francis Chan, Mark Driscoll, Steven Furtick and Andy Stanley among others!  Totally freaking out about how cool this is going to be!

Here's FOUR OTHER THINGS I am so excited about I can't sit still:

1. SMALL GROUPS start this week!  I love the new format with notes AND questions.  It's going to get better and better each week!  I have missed our Small Group so much and can't wait to get started again! 
2. BEACH, BBQ & BAPTISM is coming up on Sunday October 3rd at 3PM on the East Beach at Lake Tholocco.  It is our 5th BB&B, and around 20 people have already indicated they are coming to be Baptized!  This time around, we have a couple of HUGE innovations that will make BB&B a more meaningful experience for everyone!  We'll talk about them in a couple of weeks.  Look for the new BB&B video this Sunday!
3. CROSSROADS U starts Sunday October 3rd at 9AM in Cinema 3 with ROADIES 101 and continues for the next four weeks, same time - same location, with ROADIES 201.  I am thrilled that we are finally able to launch our comprehensive discipleship training process.  These classes are designed to answer a HUGE question that Crossroads attenders have been asking: "What is spiritual maturity all about and how do I get some?"  Can't wait!
4. NEW WEBSITE launches very soon, and will contain a new slate of resources to help people stay connected to God, to each other, and to the world around them.  

Okay...I can't keep this in.  There's actually a fifth thing.  But keep it quiet, okay?  Promise?  Good.  In the next 30 days, we will be announcing Crossroads very first satellite church.  It's going to cost us virtually nothing to launch, and you will not BELIEVE the location.  There.  How's that for a teaser?

As the most interesting man in the world says, "Stay thirsty my friends!"  God is doing HUGE things at Crossroads!
