Underground Update 121609 (Bah Humbug 3)

 Another great night with the youth of crossroads!! I can't believe I get to be apart of this, guys!!
Here is a recap of what went down.

• Big Thanks to Todd and Tracie for coming to help with the night! having you guys come in to lend some hands was great, and very appreciated!
• The Band rocked!! Loved the rendition of Jingle Bells, (with the Crowd and Cameron laugh, lol!)
• It was a nice change-up with Sam doing announcements. Good job man!! Because of you, maybe some one is actually visiting the site and reading this! lol!
• Another great Throwdown with Caleb! Another great snowball fight, this time with Marshmellows!!
• Awesome job by Hannah doing the offering, great job and first go at it!! you rock!
• I can't tell you guys how much this series is blessing me, to teach! Loved getting to hear from the Ghost of Christmas Present, and learning, as Paul says in Philippians 4, "the secret to being content in any circumstance" 

This has been a great ride guys!! join us next week as we finish up Bah Humbug! and finish of the year with some fun!

Have a great week!

week 2: Bah Humbug!

Lovin this series, and the stuff going on every week.
If you missed it here are some of the best things that happens at the Underground Wednesday.

1. More new faces! it's great to meet new people almost every week.

2. Really dug the new tune!! keep em coming guys!

3. We are so blessed to have such a killer volunteer team. you guys rocked Wednesday. the room looked great. Everyone felt welcome. good stuff!

4. I must apologize for thinking it would only take 30 seconds to turn someone into a snowman. What was I thinking?? again, thanks to our Justin, Lindsay and the team for staying on their feet and handling that on the fly.

5. I love seeing new people take the stage and become part of the service. Ashley Carr rocked! She did a great job!

6. I've really enjoyed teached this series, and I think I've gotten just as much out of it as anyone. Loved learning the source of Generosity come from gratitude from the ghost of Christmas Past. Just as Paul did In Phil. 2 when he Listed "Encouragement, Compassion, Tenderness, Comfort, and Sharing." We should make our own list of what God has given us and pass those onto others, giving because Christ gave everything, "Considering being God not something to use to His advantage, but instead became nothing" no better reason than that!

Thanks to everyone who got onboard and made it another great night!
peace

Underground Update: Wintery Wonderland Edition

Hey everyone,
     Let me start by saying I had an absolutely great time last night at the Underground!!
It was definitely the most fun we've had yet. On that note here are a few of my favorite things that happens last night:

1. great crowd! I was surprised, but really glad to see people came to the Underground despite being out of school and having the threat of inclement weather. We had 44 teens!

2. The band sounded tight! Sam did a great job on the vocals and the band kept together really well. Great job guys!!

3. Caitlin made everyone feel very welcomed from the platform last night!

4. The Snowball fight was absolute chaos!!!....but in a good way! that was a lot of fun.

5. The message was a great one to deliver, as we were introduced to Ebenezer Scrooge. a man so self-centered that he had pushed every one in his life away.

6. hearing Paul's encouragement from Philippians to value other above yourself echoed by the ghost of Marley say  "Mankind is our business"

7. One of the biggest, huge thanks to all the work Jessie and Alayne put into make the Underground look great for the Holidays!! It was so great to have such a cool environment to be in!

Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to make it a great night!!

Peace,
Pastor Chris
