Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:5

Most of the 1100+ people who attended this morning will have no idea how many people served so diligently in order for them to have an encounter with God this morning. Beyond our staff who work all week there are countless volunteers who serve faithfully each Sunday. 

Today I'd like to highlight the set-up and take down teams at our Hampstead Campus. These folks endured some tough conditions this morning from the weather that was lousy to a truck that wouldn't start to an audio glitch that was beyond their control. And through it all they persevered and served so that the folks attending in Hampstead could have a great experience. Thank you to ALL our great volunteers!

If you know some volunteers who we should all appreciate please share them and their stories below.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ there is new creation; 

The old has gone, the new has come! 2 Cor 5:17

The new year is off to a great start! I was able to experience the worship and fellowship at both campuses this morning and it was a real blessing. New faces and spirit led encounters were part of the excitement in both locations. We had 2 full Discover Crossroads groups kick off this morning.

PLEASE share your stories below!

Here's the gist of an encouraging note I received before Christmas...

The note was from a couple in our congregation who have both had significant physical issues. They were expressing how thankful they were for the care they were given during and after hospital stays. The impact was not only the meeting of the practical needs but the encouragement of a faith that was displayed not only on Sundays but every day!
