In August we joined a church called The Crossing, which was long overdue, and its been one of the best things to happen this year. They do this great thing where they have series that last around 6-8 weeks focusing on different subjects and areas of the Bible.
Its also the first Church I've been to that feels like a family, that has clear and direct messages directed at helping and changing your life for the better. Its not just a mundane message surrounded by a passage in the Bible, its actual encouragement or guidance, or Gods word without making nice of the harsh truths.
The pastor, the workers, and the volunteers are all so lovely and warm. Not fake warm, but genuinely loving and warm. It truly feels like a family.
One thing that has been great is our community group.
Its like a bible study, except we are focusing on a curriculum called "Freeway", that's all about getting freedom through Christ from our sin and our problems.
Anger, resentment, hurt, unforgiveness... etc.
But one of the best things, is having joined with 25 people, once a week in fellowship and friendship. Getting to know each other, being there for each other, and supporting each other through this curriculum, and our daily lives.
Sadly the group is so large that it's hard to be there for everyone, and getting to know everyone is hard when a percentage of people don't show up on a weekly basis.
It has been a comfort and encouragement in many areas, and a light in our life.
I think we have only had 6 weeks, but it's already changed my life, even just a little and I'm looking forward to continue to have fellowship with this lovely group of people
(Missing seven people, I think)
