Since You've Been Gone...

Well, I'm officially in the once-a-month club when it comes to blogging. Sorry about that. If you don't follow me on Facebook or Twitter, I'll try to fill you in a bit.

For the past two weekends I've traveled to Crossroads Church in Des Moines, IA, where I'm serving as the Pastor of Congregational Development. Currently, what that looks like is me focusing upon and leading the Arts teams (Band, Vox, Tech, etc) and as we move forward, I'll be helping in the areas of leadership development and first impressions, as well as small groups.

Crossroads is a great church full of talented, dedicated people who are ready to move to the next level organizationally to reach their community, Norwalk and Des Moines, for Jesus Christ. They are an evangelistic congregation in a denomination not generally known for evangelism. Under the leadership of our Lead Pastor, Glen Blumer, Crossroads is in many ways setting the bar for RCA churches when it comes to strategy and mission.

Something you might not know about the RCA is that it has a very high Dutch population. What this means practically is that I'm (at 6'3") one of the shortest men there. I'm hoping we can start a church league basketball team... I wouldn't be able to get off the bench, but we could dominate in the paint!

I'm hoping to get back to a more consistent level of posting here at Intentionality. Thanks for sticking around, and get off your duff and check out Twitter and Facebook. Much more interaction for sure. And if you haven't yet, definitely get a blog reader... I use Google Reader.

Okay, that's it.
