what's new?

Still catching up on old posts. Here's a short New Year's shout-out from JANUARY 6:

A new year. A new decade. A new entry into the old, old story of God-among-us. And plenty is new at The Crossing. New small groups for the winter and spring. A new Hope in Action Campaign that will send us out to build relationships, bless our city and grow our capacity to be God's justice- and peace-makers in the world. Fact is, in 2010 there will be a slew of new opportunities to engage in community, mission and worship at The Crossing and beyond. You got some good news, too? Then bring your stories and your hopes -- and even the hard stuff you need to release after a fraught holiday season -- bring it all into the circle tomorrow night, and we'll see what God's been up to. And then we'll offer our lives for whatever God's cooking up next.

Amen!
