Crosspointe

It has finally happened! We have found a church for us!We've only gone three times but even from the first time we were there it was like no church we had visited. It is alive and it is passionate. It's such a relief to finally have a place we can call "home". It's now time to try to be social and get plugged in. That's the one thing about being married. We've turned into homebodies. We never hang out with anyone but then when we do we realize what we've been missing. Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to get plugged into a group that we can really learn and grow in as well as develop some wonderful friendships from.
Something really cool and relevant we found out about the church this past weekend is that they have 2 countries other than around here that they really focus on making an impact in. The first some place in Africa and the second being Haiti. They have a ministry here that has been able to partner so many different organizations and people together in order to get help to Haiti. People have donated tons of medical supplies, planes to get things there, and the Canadian Military even wanted to set up a hospital there. They didn't have anywhere to do it but the church bought quite a bit of land there to build schools and such on so they told the, they could build the hospital there. They even decided they are going to leave it there after they are gone so it can continue to be used. Wow...what a blessing. And how amazing to know there are so many people out there who want to help out. It's just a matter of putting the pieces together.
