CrossWay’s Site is Up and Running!
YES!!! Okay, so right now it’s a really, really lame looking site, but it works! CrossWay Church now has a website, which you can find at crossway.cc. The page itself just has some basic info for visitors trying to find out worship times, location, etc. We’re really going to have to overhaul it, which we… Continue reading

Meeting with the Mentor Man
Today I met for the first time with my assigned mentor, James Wenger (our conference assigns a mentor to every new pastor). James is the pastor of North Baltimore Mennonite Church. I really enjoyed our time together, and I look forward to meeting with him again next month. Whenever a new pastor comes into our area conference,… Continue reading

Holographic Haggai
Yesterday at CrossWay Church we began a two-part series on the book of Haggai. In the first week, we learned from Haggai that we can see reality more clearly when we look through the lens of God’s promises to us. I lit a candle that was set on a table up front and asked everyone… Continue reading

Whew
Whew… What an exhausting week–and we’re only to the midway point! When I have more time I’ll write about what’s going on. In the meantime, I probably won’t post much before the weekend. If you check out http://crossway.cc, we don’t have our website up and running yet, but at least we’ve got a “Coming Soon”… Continue reading

CrossWay Love Day
Yesterday at CrossWay the message was “All You Need is Love.” I really see this being the major theme for our church. Josh and Diana, our worship leaders, did an excellent job of selecting very worshipful songs that set our hearts and minds on the love theme. We transitioned into the message with a short… Continue reading

The Latest at CrossWay
At CrossWay Church, we’re now working on the next two steps: designing a logo and creating a website. I’m meeting with a graphic designer week after next, and I’ve already met with a website guy. The website dude makes some really good, high-quality stuff, but I don’t think we can afford him at this point. … Continue reading

Graduating to Rock Star Fame
Our preschool, the Training Station, just had a graduation for the kids who will be leaving in the fall for kindergarten. As you might guess, it was so cute! One of the best parts was toward the end when each kid came down to the front wearing a graduation cap, and they received their diplomas… Continue reading

Major Props to My Homies
On Sunday we had a guest preacher, Butch Marvin, from the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area. He’s been ministering here for over a year, coming down to preach once a month. Carolyn and I had the privelege of having breakfast on Sunday morning with Butch and his wife, Mary. He’s a really neat guy, and it’s uncanny… Continue reading

CrossWay Is On The Way!
Ahh, how refreshing to have a church name! Yesterday morning our “moderator,” Rick, welcomed everyone to the service by saying, “Welcome to Ocean City whatever-we’re-called Church!” It was pretty funny, but I’m glad we now have a name to stand on. Now there’s so much we can do: get a website, design a logo, put… Continue reading
