Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Mark 1:40-41
What a great spirit of worship this morning after a challenging week for many. As we started a new series "Pale & Pious" I met several new families who were either visiting for the first time or who have started coming in the last few weeks. It's always so fun to hear them share thee way they experience our services with "new eyes". Here's part of an email I received tonight from a new family.
Tonight, after smoking chicken, sausage and a pork roast, I asked the boys our end of night question, which is "what was your favorite part of the day?" Thinking it might be smoking meat with me all day & then grilling, they both replied "church and talking about Jesus and the big boat". I was floored and teared up. Their time with me and out at the smoker, doesn't even come close to that with learning about Jesus and forming that relationship.
Amen Crossroads!

I was encouraged by the heart of the worship team. Iris was not an easy song to play and took a lot of work, but Jim C lead the team well. Richard Senior and Mark H and Paul Brown's work has paid off and the livestream is going well. It blessed everyone at Hampstead who got to experience a Full Crossroads service at Carroll st! A lot of people are volunteering in some impressive ways, and that's where and when the Lord moves!
