There's nobody like you. You are precious. You are beautiful. On the day you were born you changed the world. The question is do you believe this?
This week we bring to closure our series:
Gratitude: The One Thing that Changes Everything
. We are going to end with one of the most important gratitudes we can offer - gratitude for self. Why is that so hard? Why when we look in the mirror do we see the things we don't like more quickly than the beauty of our essence?
Is it possible to truly love God and others and skip the love yourself part of what Jesus said is the most important commandment of all time? What if we change the order to read, love yourself so that you can love God and others most fully? What if there is no order to the commandment and they are all one and the same?
There are lots of questions and this Sunday we are going to take a good look at them. And also give very practical ways for us to keep growing and believing that we are precious, we are beautiful and every day we are changing the world just as we are. You and I are enough!
Next week we will begin a new series called: The World is Our Neighborhood. We will look at how we are changing the world one person, family and community at a time. We are more than just a local church, we are a church with a vision as big as the world.
Don't forget that while we are away the needs of our community don't go away. Giving online is the easiest way to stay faithful in our giving so that our Crossroads family stays faithful in our service. You can give

As always, I am really excited to be with you this Sunday to continue our 30-day Gratitude experience.
If you can't be with us on Sunday, then maybe you can join us online. And for sure sign up for the daily gratitude texts. Think of someone to invite to come along with you.
Let's never stop growing in our love for God, others and ourselves. It's our most important work.
See you soon,
