A Flurry of Activity

I know the word WOW has become my favorite aphorism, but I am telling you that is the best word I can think of with regard to what the Lord is doing at CrossPoint. The WOW to which I am referring has to do with the flurry of activity and air of excitement stirring around the CrossPoint campus this week.

The excitement began with staff meeting this morning. Although it was a chaotic meeting, we accomplished many things. Hugh Patrick, our Phase II Construction Team Leader, joined us the first 30 minutes to review preparations for entering the new Education Wing on February 18. That was followed by Paul Welch, another faithful CrossPointer, taking on us a virtual tour of our new webpage. For the minutes we had remaining we settled on some very convincing ideas for implementing CrossPoint’s process to CONNECT in every phase of our vision. We concluded the meeting with our monthly lunch together.

There are so many things going on this week, the next and the next, I thought I would highlight a few of them for you:

• We launched a new WEBPAGE at the same address. Check it out at http://www.crosspointchurch.info .
• We have RED STEEL going up! When you arrive on campus tonight take a look at the steel going up on the Phase II gymnasium. That is one massive structure.
• We are about to enter our NEW BUILDING on February 18. As of the date of this blog we are 10 days away from entering the new education wing. You are going to be blown away by the size, the décor and the usefulness of the building.
• We have many new potential members registered for D101 this Sunday. That means Sunday, February 18 will be special when we present a new group of family members to our family of faith.
• We meet for LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY Sunday night at 6 PM, followed by our first quarter FAMILY CONFERENCE.
• We re-open our PARENTS-OF-PRESCHOOL PARKING LOT and drive thru on Sunday, February 18. That will create 50 additional parking spaces. Plus it will give us more than one entrance into the building.
• We sold the TENT. Steve Parr has a contract in hand from a small church that purchased our tent. Now we need 50 people to help us deconstruct the tent on Saturday, February 24.
• We will soon open another PARKING LOT, if the Lord is willing. If we can get the tent removed in time (see the previous entry) we should be able to grate and pave the temporary parking area before Easter. Again, it is incumbent on us to deconstruct the tent. That will create parking for 120 more automobiles. For those counting, this will be the third time we have taken down the tent.
• We are inviting 10,000 guests to CELEBRATE EASTER with us. Last year we invited 5,000 guests and we had 1700 on campus. This year we want to invite 10,000 people. As a result of that effort, we are expecting 2500 people on campus Easter morning. We will be providing Easter details in the coming weeks.

Can anybody say, “WOW!”? I told you there was a flurry of activity going on at CrossPoint.Give thanks. Give thanks, CrossPoint, because these are days like no other. We are experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let’s make the most of it by inviting JUST ONE MORE to join us.
