They ranged from musical worship moments, teaching reminders of why the Reformation matters, students dedicated to putting in the rehearsal time required to be an important part of our ministry, new beginnings downtown - an excitement to see what God has planned, to private family times of celebration and just taking in the 'good times' of family being gathered to love. I know I am blessed, I don't know why so much - but, I'm beyond thankful for all of these little important things and give all the credit to a God who loves me despite myself!

| A time of worship during our Reformation weekend |
 |
| A visual opportunity of response for our congregation - the doors were covered by the end of the weekend. Powerful! |
 |
| I know I talk about it endlessly, but the students worshipping is a great encouragement to me - I love stopping back and spending a little time with them too! This coming weekend at Crossroads will be the first time our students have lead without any adult leaders on stage! They work super hard to prepare - I hope you'll be there it's going to be super powerful! |
 |
| I timed it just right this past week and caught Father and Son Ritchey installing our beautiful City Center sign for all to see. A declaration that Crossroads cares about our community and wants to serve it any way we can! |
 |
| I can't explain what a perfect description this visual is of our grand-baby Margot, a princess dress with a Spiderman Football...all is well! |
 |
| I don't think I ever see anything less than full-blown joy when any of our grand-babies are with grandpa! This was the perfect ending to our week - in Ashland celebrating my mom's birthday!
