CrossRoads

I have begun leading a Sundy night gathering called CrossRoads. It is alternately for young adults or college age people or 20 and 30 somethings or 18-35 year-olds, depending on who you ask or who I'm talking to. Ultimately, everyone is welcome, and so far everyone who has come has enjoyed it. The age range of attenders so far is 2 to 50 something. It leans more toward and emergent gathering and away from a traditional church service.

For me it is fun, exciting, energizing, a lot of work, and all about God. We are going through the seven signs of John's gospel, so it is definately drawing me closer to Jesus. It is also an exercise of my faith. CrossRoads is one of those things that has been in my heart for so long that to finally be able to do it feels so right, even challenges and set-backs don't affect me. I have no worries about it, I just do what I feel God has called me to do. That is a great place to be - doing the good works that God prepared for us in advance (Ephesians 2:10).
