Easter weekend has come and gone. All that's left are little bits of plastic Easter basket grass, the last fleeting ebbs of a chocolate buzz, and a plate of ham scraps in the fridge.
If you made it out to Crossroads this weekend then you know that a lot of cool stuff took place. There was a well attended sunrise service despite the bitter cold, there were pancakes (which I didn't get to partake in, but I hear they were awesome. Of course, how can a pancake not be awesome? It's a pancake...), and there were lots of new faces checking out our community for the first time.
I was able to snap a few pictures and record a short video over the course of the weekend. Most of my pictures kind of center around the services themselves and none of the other cool stuff that went on. I was serving on the tech team this weekend so I didn't get much of a chance to walk around.
If any of you have pictures from the pancakes breakfast, the big bunny party, or anything else, feel free to email them to me at patchdrury@gmail.com and I'll put them up here. And in the future, any of you who'd like to start helping me document everything that takes place at ol' Xroads via cameras and videos - please feel free!
So, if you made it out this weekend, what was your favorite part of the whole Easter shebang?

Easter at Xroads

I can't say how much I was moved by the work of Joe Castillo during his exerpt of the DVD. It absolutely gave me chills. I was drawn to purchase the DVD and spent a good deal of time reading about him and his works. I am not one who possesses any artistic ability, so I had a keen interest in learning about how God moved him to create such experiences for others.
Oh yea, Glen's message was good too :)
Just so you know, Janet, Joe's sand art was done live during the service - as opposed to being an excerpt from a DVD (I couldn't tell if that's what you were saying, but Joe told us that multiple people told him they thought they were watching a DVD during the service). His sand table was set up on the side of the stage with a camera suspended over it. It was all live!
Yep, I knew that, but I didn't write my thoughts clearly. He told us that what he did was approx a 6 minute interpretation of what was on the longer DVD. The DVD is a little different and didn't have the red lighting portion which I felt was a big part of the emotion I felt. I like that it's a little different because I interpret that as a sign that he creates as he is led, not simply by repitition.
Awesome!
My favorite was the Sunrise service. I've been wanting one at Crossroads for years and was very excited when they announced they were having one.
