Okay guys, let me just get it out there… this is another post in which tell you how blessed I am to be a part of Cross Point.

Last night we had our annual Volunteer Appreciation Gala where the staff takes a few hours to let all of our volunteers know how exceptional they are. It’s always a remarkable evening. The theme this year was “Cross Point at the Movies”. Each volunteer walked the red carpet….

520 volunteers were honored tonight… isn’t that crazy exciting? I love seeing people realize they ARE the Body of Christ.

Here’s the Cross Point staff on stage recognizing each volunteer team that make Cross Point Nashville and Cross Point Dickson a reality.

And here’s one more Pete, Ryan, and Pastor Chad after they finished their beautiful rendition of “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.” Pete rocked it out, just like Maverick… (there might be video of their performance floating around).

The children were also entertained with their own movie night. They dined on pizza and popcorn, watched a movie, and then hung out with Bob and Larry from Veggie Tales. All the kids loved it, except for Brewer who has an anxiety attack when he sees anyone wearing a costume.

It was sensational evening where volunteers where celebrated in the highest quality. We laughed, we cried, we ate, we prayed, we laughed more, we were entertained, and we were reminded that God’s church, when done well, can create life change like no other.

Thank you Cross Point staff for your love and dedication to your job. Each of you challenge me and remind me how wonderful it is to be part of a team. You lead with efficiency and respect.  Thank you for a wonderful evening!
