This past Sunday, hundreds (400-500) of people came out to the Church-wide potluck. The weather was close to perfect, the food was incredible, and I think people in general had a good time. It was great getting to see people connect with others that they either didn't know or hadn't seen in a while.
If you got a chance to attend, I hope you had a good time. We intend to do even more things at Crossroads like this so that we can continue to be a family that keeps growing. We got a chance to take a couple of pictures and we put them on our new picture gallery. Take a look at http://www.xroadschurch.org/gallery/main.php/v/FeastField/?g2_page=1 (We are still working out one kink in our gallery, so be patient for a couple of days.)
So that's enough from me, let's hear from you some of your experiences:
1. Did you get a chance to connect with anyone?
2. What was your favorite food that you tried?

My favorite food was the pineapple casserole. I have never had anything like that before. As far as connecting with anyone, I took Glen's word to heart and sat with people that I didn't know and met some wonderful ladies. One was named Linda and for the life of me I cannot remember the other ladies name. Sorry. It was great and I hope to do that again. It is so nice to not rush home and be able to have some time set aside to socialize. Not to mention that the food was incredible. I took some good recipies home with me.
I got to connect with three people. One of which was named Johnathon. He actually ended up spending some time with me, Sara, and Charley Baker yesterday for the 4th. So that was nice. He plays a mean banjo, so we had a ho-down.
We had a great time at the Feast. Met some new people and also had time to connect with old friends also. I know it took a lot of planning and organization..... thanks!
We had a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed the inflatables and my husband and I were able to just sit back and relax for a little while, not to mention the food was fantastic! I loved the Spicy Asian Beef Salad! My family has been attending Crossroads for about 7 years now and we love it, but we're having a hard time making connections with other families. We've tried to be involved with the kids activities, Tyketown soccer, etc., but we're both kind of shy, so it would be nice to have more opportunities like this. Even though we didn't meet anyone Sunday, maybe we can at future gatherings.
Yeah, nobody talked to us either. :(
Really sorry to hear that guys. Sometimes it's hard for people who are regulars at Crossroads to break out of their patterns and embrace new people. Deep down I think everybody is a little scared of stepping outside of themselves.
The good news is that I know Greg and the rest of the staff are dedicated to providing more opportunities for people to get to know each other. And Hopefully all of us - the long time attenders and the new faces - will figure out better ways to make that first step into each other's lives.
