  • CrossWay On Purpose Goes Into Extra Innings

    Last night at CrossWay On Purpose we had a great discussion.  The Bible study is supposed to end at 8:00 p.m., and I admit that we initially went over because I kept it going, but everyone was so into the discussion that they kept it going until about 8:45! The fact that everyone stuck around… Continue reading

  • Doubleheader #2

    Last night our softball team (“The Green Machine,” a combination of The Gathering Tree and CrossWay Church) played our second doubleheader.  In this strangest of seasons, we hadn’t played a game for about five weeks.  This one was against SonRise.  We lost both games again, but we sure had a lot of fun doing it! … Continue reading

  • Podcast Fixed

    Until about a week ago, I didn’t realize that our church podcast only played in one speaker.  When I listened to it on my computer, it came out of both speakers.  But I had inadvertently been uploading them with the sound only coming out of the left speaker. Anyway, my brilliant wife figured out how… Continue reading

  • Wild Ponies, Wild Waves, and a Wild Baptism

    CrossWay Church had its first baptism yesterday, together with SonRise Church and The Gathering Tree.

Pastor Daryl and some other guys went deep… Continue reading

  • Fish Bait

    Yesterday at CrossWay Church was the third part in our series “I’d Rather Be Fishing.”  This message, “Fish Bait,” was about how Jesus Christ is the God of second chances. We looked at the story of Jonah.   He was a prophet who ran from God’s calling on him until God came after him and… Continue reading

  • Speaking of triplecord

    The triplecord podcast is still in its infancy, but will be growing in the next few days.  You can check it out here. Continue reading

  • Beach Baptisms

    Yesterday I went to Assateague with Daryl & John.  We’re having a baptism service & fish fry there on Sunday, July 22nd, so we were there to meet with the superintendent and scope things out. This is our first official triplecord event. We settled on having the baptisms on the ocean side.  The bay water… Continue reading
