Good afternoon CrossWinds! Chris has been going through a series of podcasts with other Ministry departments here at CrossWinds on their plans for gathering again. Just the other day Josh gave out a plan for Children's Ministry, and some ways they are staying connected. Today, Chris is talking to our Middle School Director - Zac Hamstra to roll out the 3 phases that our Middle School Ministry will take in order to gather again. Zac talks about what summer has in store for our Middle Schoolers and expands on what the idea of a ‘social bubble’ means. 

If you have a Level Up student or a Middle School student and have any follow up questions - you can email Zac Hamstra at [email protected]. 

Chris Coli is back with a follow up episode with Michael Mosby to talk empathy in the context of social justice. Michael shares some ways empathy has shown up to him in the last week - he also challenges us with some next steps to do within our own community to be an ally. 

We have a special Town Hall Meeting via Zoom this Saturday at 5pm - stay tuned for more updates on our social media platforms - facebook and instagram.

A few Sundays ago Chris talked about what gathering looks like for CrossWinds and the four phases that guide us to a live audience experience again. Chris is joined today with Children’s Ministry Director Josh Peine to discuss what gathering looks like for our kids ministry. Hear Josh’s ideas for how our Children's Ministry will engage with their own phases for gathering and some awesome ideas for more family connectivity. 

If you have any questions, or would like to know more about these phases for Children’s Ministry - you can email Josh Peine at [email protected]. 

Chris is back with CrossWinds Associate Pastor Jodie Tey to talk more about the role of spiritual formation in the church, and the importance of a safe place to unpack and deconstruct your faith.

We’ll see you this Sunday as we finish our series “How to Love the Ones You’re With (and Those You’re Not)” on crosswindschurch.org - have a fantastic weekend and stay safe!

Happy Thursday! If you were with us yesterday you caught the first half of Chris and our Associate Pastor Jodie Tey talking about Creekside Center for Spiritual Formation and how that idea came to be. Well, they are back today to describe the roles of a spiritual director and explain the impact of their own Spiritual Directors as they journey through life. 

Welcome back to the #MORETHANSUNDAY podcast. Today Chris will be talking to Associate Pastor Jodie Tey about Creekside Center for Spiritual Formation. Spiritual formation is a way to connect and dive deeper in your relationship with God and self. Chris mentioned the Creekside Center a little on Sunday and what type of programs Creekside will be involved in for our Phases of gathering again on Sunday. They dive deeper into the vision that started Creekside and what the dreams for Creekside will be.

Good Afternoon CrossWinds, today Chris sits down with longtime CrossWinds attender Michael Mosby to have a serious conversation about the events that have happened over the last week - and for many years. Michael gives some practical steps we as a Church community can do together and ways we can come alongside our POC community.

Happy Monday CrossWinds! Today Chris is continuing the conversation with our Teaching Pastor Andrea Coli about Lead Bold. On our previous episode (#MORETHANSUNDAY 48) Chris begins to ask Andrea what Lead Bold is and how it began. Today they are discussing the team members of Lead Bold and what their 2020 conference will look like.
