And here is a little about the 5 week project.

Although we are telling you what to give like the video says, we are asking you to consider giving something
toward fresh water in Africa. Will you take the challenge. Bring your gifts to CRUX each Wednesday and deposit them into the water jug in our room. Let's fill the jug!

Impact 2011 Highlight Video

Here is the video from CRUX Wednesday night! I Found some Impact 2011 pics and used Animoto to put together this video highlights from the weekend.

Attention Drummers Going to Impact

If you are going to IMPACT or know someone who is, please pass this along. The following is from Dave Hummel. Please let me know if you would be interested.

"I just got off the phone with our MC for Impact, TJ Foltz. TJ is looking for drummers who would like to really get into a drum session. The only requirement is no drum or drum sticks are to be used, but they can bring anything with them to impact to pound on that they can think of, be creative.

Practice for this pounding band will be Sat afternoon, right after the pm seminar, in the main ballroom. It will last about 15 minutes."

We need to let him know BEFORE Impact.

Don't forget that Friday, February 25 (and every 2nd and 4th Fridays) we have breakfast at Cruiser's Cafe at 6:30 AM! If you need a ride, be at the church parking lot by 6:15 AM.

Are you interested in going to a Third Day / Tenth Ave North Concert? See the announcemnets page for more information.

Start the New Year Right

The start of a new year often brings ideas of doing things new or better.  A lot of times we have good intentions but we don’t always follow through.  However, there are those times that the changes “stick” and make us better.  So, here is my challenge/invitation to you.  Go To Church!  A number of you come each week to CRUX but don’t really have a church that you attend regularly.  I would like to invite you to come to RMC this week.  The sermons will be based on the book of Mark and Philippians 2:5 – 11. 

 

Why go to church?  Well, it’s not because we are supposed to go.  Instead it is so that you can be encouraged in your relationship with Jesus Christ.  Everyone needs a support group of people who they can share things with, who will help them when the going gets tough and who will encourage them when they need encouraged.  The friends you have now are probably great, but what happens after you graduate?  Believe me when I say that your friends now probably won’t be people you hang out with 10 years from now.  So start now to build relationship with good people who love God. 

 

Two things to finish this.  1) RMC isn’t the only church around.  So if you have friends who go to another church, have at it.  But, go somewhere!  You will be glad you did.  2)  If you go to RMC or another church and like it, please INVITE someone to church today!!
