The name Patrick Crossing is filled with historical significance and it helps us tell our story. Patrick (now remembered as Saint Patrick), had been enslaved by the Celts in Ireland, and made a dramatic escape back to his home country of Great Britain. Some time after his return home, God gave him a vision to return to his place of captivity to share the gospel. This serves as a great metaphor for our journey together. We too have left our place of comfort and are crossing back over to bless and encourage those who are in captivity in the place where we were once held. |

C.J.'s Blog:
Do you live your life by lists? I am not talking about a list that helps you remember what to buy at the grocery store, or a list that reminds you to pick up your kid from school. I am talking about lists that provide codes of behavior for what we can and cannot do as people of faith. So many times we miss out on all that God has for us because we have allowed our Christian life to be defined by lists. To follow the trajectory of the New Testament means that we begin to embrace both the freedom and the responsibility of list-free living. It is a tricky subject and one that I invite you to join with me in exploring…[more...]

A Hundred Thousand Welcomes!

Simple Church Journal:
Right now we are learning together all the many ways God the Father brings encouragement to believers. Hebrews 11 paints a portrait of people who persevered throughout their lives and are ensconced in what is commonly called, "The Hall of Faith." Hebrews 12 tells us that these same people now encompass us as a sort of cheering section for our short sprint through life. Hebrews also relays to us that God sends His angels to us as ministering spirits to help give aide, protection and encouragement. As believers, we are called upon to bring encouragement to one another on a daily basis. We also are given the Holy Spirit as our comforter, our teacher, and our inner empowerment. From there, we have moved into one of the most encouraging books of the bible, I John. We are presently doing a verse by verse study of this heart-warming book. You are welcome to join us for worship, prayer and study each Thursday at Simple Church.
