weekend report

Well I thought I had seen it all, and then Pastor Dave took the stage...

It was a blast this past weekend at Crossroads!  I don't think we could have fit another element into our services!  And each element was amazing!

From the recognition of our Veterans by Nicole Blakely, a retired Veteran herself, to a rap by our lead pastor - Dr. Dave Vance, to beautiful worship and the privilege of praying for a hard-working missionary!  So very good to be at Crossroads this past weekend!

We gave out EVERY SINGLE new visitors packet again this weekend and are scrambling to keep up with serving all our new attendees!  God is good, so very good!

As we prepare for Thanksgiving his week, I am completely aware of how very, very many things I have to be grateful for and I cannot silence my words of thanksgiving to my Lord!!!

Here is a glimpse at some of the things from this past weekend at Crossroads.

Yes it's true, our pastor is a rapper!

It's Undeniable!   He brought it!

weekend report

It was very hard to believe that we were already into another weekend when our focus for so long had been preparing for the 20 year anniversary of Crossroads.   But it was time to move on this weekend, beginning the next era of Crossroads.

We began strong!

So.....

Crossroads was hopping this weekend and so filled with the Holy Spirit I can hardly describe it!

silhouettes of our amazing team

It is possible to teach on super difficult subjects while carefully proclaiming that any sin can be forgiven by the God who created the universe.   The ache He must feel as He watches His creation make terribly decisions and then suffer under the guilt and regret the decisions bring...And still He loves us, forgives us and calls us His own...amazing.

Our setlist:

The Lord Reigns - Gateway
Jesus Loves Me - Tomlin
One Thing Remains - Stanfill
Oceans - Hillsong
Video: Choose Life - SermonSpice  http://www.sermonspice.com/product/44355/choose-life

weekend report

Where to begin...WOW..
Many aspects I loved this weekend - amazing music, art displays, time during worship to participate and reflect - not even responding except to bask in God's presence, powerful teaching, live art...WOW

The time intensive elements were extraordinary, but the most moving moments for me:

-Senior Pastor surrounded by his own young children standing in the front row...(they are typically in kids classes - but I assume wanted to be in for worship and watch the artists)..very, very moving!
-Artists painting wasn't as moving to me as when they stepped away from the individual easels moving toward one another...stirring!
-Band member's father sitting in the crowd with tears running down his face as his son moved from playing the bass to painting to singing...powerful!

Response to God is why we lay our work at His feet each weekend- and the response was strong!

This is a picture of our finished painting when it was all brought together.

Our Set List:

Opening Easter Promo ( Three Days Later Chris McGowan (purchased from Sermon spice)

Welcome: Pastor Tim set the service up perfectly - inviting them to worship ...

Special: Lead Me To The Cross Hillsong United

Special/Praise begins...: Jesus Messiah Tomlin

Praise: Sing, Sing, Sing (Artists moved to the canvases during the end of this song)

Worship: You Are My King

Worship: The Wonderful Cross (Artists met in the center of the stage - placing all the canvases together to make one big picture (this idea came from theworshipcommunity.com site) I believe Fellowship Church performed this with a different song- we used it within worship.

Message: The Cross of Christ

Ending Special: Mighty Is The Power of the Cross

Our Creative Arts Small Group really did an awesome job this weekend! The pictures don't do the projects and worship justice...but it helps to see them just a little bit!

I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND !!!!
