tried to stretch a bit and start more mellow than normal. interspersed some space for scripture and meditation during “everything”. i’ve felt lately like we tend to rush through the music. i think it’s because we typically want to keep things moving to keep the energy up. this is good thing. i just think there can be too much of a good thing.

today was the drum debut for stephen james. i’m excited about having stephen as a new addition to the worship band. and he’s going to play next sunday too….

things are exciting at crosspointe these days because we’re gearing up for the addition of a 3rd service. obviously there are challenges - we need to add about 200 new volunteers to our children’s ministry and first impressions ministries. anyone reading that’s going to take the plunge to serve?

“american dream” is a modern day protest song. but instead of protesting war or racial discrimination, the protest is against over-consumption. against the capitalism machine that’s come off the rails.

this was the wrap up of our “say when” series. this has been a challenging series - hitting us right where we live in cary, nc.
