Crossroads does Valentine's Day!

So, if you haven't seen from the calendar of events on the right column of this blog, Crossroads will be hosting an event for Valentine's Day. I originally wanted to throw a prom-like dance, but corporate wouldn't allow it, so we've tweaked it to be a dinner and movie! The S.A.D. is for Single Awareness Day as this event is not limited to couples. It's actually aimed at all you single young adults that roam the corridors of FCBC.
A prime rib dinner prepared by culinary genius Frank Tran will be served promptly at 6:30 pm by the Praise Center (formerly known as the Old Sanctuary) and be followed by a movie indoors. Along with the film, we'll have a photo area for you to take pictures. We'll also have supplies available for you to make your own Valentine's Day "mailbox" a la 2nd Grade as well as those elementary school Valentines for you to fill out and put into other people's mailboxes. Dress code is semi-formal, but you can be as dapper as you feel like.
An official flyer will be up soon, and tickets ($5 each) will go on sale this Sunday, Feb. 1st in limited supply. So mark your calendars, invite a friend, and come to the Crossroads S.A.D. Movie and Dinner!

India 2k9 anyone?

From Pastor Chris:

This Sunday, Feb 1, there will be a Sunday Sunday School assembly where we will have Al Wilson, our designated team leader from E3Partners for our upcoming missions trip to India come to present information regarding the trip. I hope you will come with an open mind and open heart to seek God's leading as to whether or not this might be a good opportunity for you to take a step of faith and seek to build God's kingdom in a concrete way. This is a unique opportunity that will put you in the front lines of sharing the gospel with those who may have never heard the story of Jesus before. There will also be an opportunity to have lunch with Al and ask more questions after Worship@11. If you would like to participate in the lunch, please email Pastor Chris (cbmsn1@earthlink.net) and/or Donald Yuan (donuwon@gmail.com). Even if you do not go on the trip, this will be a chance to hear how missions work can be done and how you can pray for/support those who will be going!

I don't know that I'll be able to make it to this trip since I've decided to go down the ever so bumpy road of graduate school, but all (three) of you reading this should definitely check out the meeting. I think a lot of us have a very skewed view of India and it might be good to go to this info session, or even the lunch and talk to Al to break any misconceptions you might have.

Crossroads 2k9

Captain Spickard, Eugene, and Greg need to write in this more. All the posts are by moi. You guys also need to email us at fcbccrossroads@gmail.com. I don't have that email pushed to my phone for nothing! In any case, Crossroads is meeting this Saturday, Jan. 10, in the Hall of Truth upstairs. I stress being on time because if you're not, there's a large chance all the lights will be off in the building with us all dispersed hiding from you.
I've also been given the opportunity (forced) to share with you all about my life and it's intricacies. I can't tell you yet what I'm going to divulge since I haven't thought deeply about it yet, but it's going to be good. Hopefully I destro and conquer this cold by then.
I look forward to seeing all your familiar faces, and hopefully some unfamiliar faces, on Saturday. As always, bring a friend. I bereave that we've molded and contoured Crossroads to be pretty inviting. I'll see you there!
