What a Weekend!
How do we measure the effectiveness of last weekend’s events on the CrossPoint campus? This Monday morning I sit in awe of what God accomplished, and I am still trying to place some type of measurement on the results.
The weekend began with our Fifth Annual CrossPoint 5k. Two hundred and three participants ran in the 5K race and one-mile-fun-run. As a result, we came very close to raising enough money for the CrossPoint Foundation to purchase a refrigerated truck for Pastor Roland Walker as he continues to serve food to the many homeless people of the Birmingham Metropolitan Area.
As if Saturday’s events were not enough, Sunday was over the top. The worship Sunday morning was remarkable. Of course, that is nothing new. CrossPoint’s worship is extraordinary every Lord’s Day. Yet it seemed Sunday’s worship was overflowing with extra promise yesterday.
Then we ended the day with literally thousands of people participating in our Fall Festival. The crowd was so large we ran out of food. The overflow parking on the Clearbranch Campus saved the day. Thank goodness, we did not run out of candy!
Seriously, for those of you who experienced one, two or all three of the aforementioned events, how do you measure the outcome?
I would like for you to respond today’s blog by sharing your thoughts about the weekend. Share your JUST ONE MORE story. How do you think we can measure our effectiveness? I want your perspective about the weekend through your eyes or through the eyes of someone you met.

Added at 9:23AM Oct 23: If you have any photos from any of the forementioned events of this weekend, please send them to greatcommission@hotmail.com. I would like to add them to the blog. I would be especially interested in pics of the 5k run(that's if cameras work in the cold!!)
Thanks, Vaughn
