Remember the Blessings
Christine Eid, Director of Children’s Ministries
I have recently started to reread the book of Deuteronomy. In the first three
chapters, it is a recap by Moses to the people of Israel of their wilderness journey
and how they responded to God’s directions. At times, they listened and trusted
in God, and they were successful in their endeavors. At other times, they were
afraid and did not trust, and there were consequences; the largest being that
they had to wander in the wilderness for 40 years because of not trusting God’s
directive to take over Canaan.
As I read this account, I was reminded that for the Israelites,
at times it felt like God wasn’t there, but now, as they reflected by
looking back, they could see all the ways that God had been active
in their lives.
In the February Clarion, Jan Stockman-Sater, challenged us to
make life altering memories. She reminded us of the importance
of doing things together with people we care about to create
memories to reflect on in the future. To intentionally create those
moments in our lives that will be memories that will guide us along
our faith walk.
This month, I’d like to encourage you to take it step farther
and remember the blessings you have received. Recently a friend
shared the concept of a blessing jar. Take a container of some sort
or jar, and decorate it. If you have more than one person in the
household, make it a family event/project. After decorating it, place
it in a prominent place in your home with slips of paper next to it.
At the end of each day, take time to write down a blessing from the
day. If there is more than one person in your home, you can choose
to have everyone write something down daily, or you can take turns.
It depends on how full you want your jar to be!
Then, at the end of the year, on New Year’s Eve, go through and
read all the ways that God has blessed you in 2016. We have already
gone through 2 months! So, it won’t be the complete year. But as you
read through the blessings, you can take that time to reflect back. See
all the ways that God has been active in your life that are sometimes
easy to forget.
In March we enter into the final weeks of Lent when we are
also reflecting and remembering the ultimate blessing that God
has given to us – the sacrifice of His Son, and His resurrection.
It is the defeat over sin and death so that we know that will live
eternally with our Heavenly Father someday. On March 27 we
celebrate Easter.
But then what? After Easter sometimes it’s easy to “go on to
the next thing” of life and lose sight of this wonderful gift. God’s
presence continues in our lives each and every day, and there is
always something to be thankful for. Remember the blessings and
reflect back on them, as the Israelites reflected on God’s presence
in their lives. I am sure it will be amazing on December 31 to look
back and remember all the blessings you have received.

Church Council Strategic Planning Retreat:
Visions of a Bigger and More Functional
Cross View Facility
This year, the Church Council dedicated
the annual strategic planning retreat on
February 13 to discuss the potential scope
of a facility expansion process. It was a very
exciting meeting!
During the planning retreat a year ago,
we developed the 3-year Strategic Plan
which was shared with the congregation at
the May 2015 Voters’ Assembly meeting.
We had identified that a variety of our
strategic goals would be limited by the space
and functionality of our current building.
In response to that, we organized two
Ministry Action Teams in 2015—one for
Youth and one for Adults—to gather input
from the congregation through surveys and
other feedback mechanisms to share ideas
of how ministry could be enhanced. We
were thankful to receive input from many
members! Part of the input we received
from you pertained directly to visions of
adding space to the building for better traffic
flow in the hallways, more class space, more
dedicated and functional fellowship spaces,
a more welcoming atmosphere for both
members and visitors, and more. Pastor
Steve then led the church staff to combine
this input with their own thoughts to
develop a facility visioning document that
acts as a very strong starting point to define
the scope of a potential expansion project,
the rationale for the proposed changes, and
its proposed impact to ministry.
During our day-long retreat, the
Church Council considered the scope of
the envisioned changes and mapped out
a process for accomplishing a potential
expansion project. From my perspective,
I can tell you that it is fantastic to have
the experience of such a talented group of
leaders contributing their expertise in many
areas related to building and construction,
contract law, finance, communications,
and management as we carefully thought
through how we could undertake a building
project and capital campaign.
Of course, a building project of this
nature can only move forward if the
congregation approves the concept, It is
our first intention to share the vision in
an open forum, give you an opportunity to
provide feedback on the proposed scope,
and ask questions. Therefore, we will be
scheduling town hall meetings this spring.
Please look for these meetings and plan
to attend to start learning about how we
can even more effectively: Connect with
God in worship, with our current brothers
and sisters in Christ through fellowship,
and with others seeking a relationship
with Him by creating a warm and inviting
environment; Grow in our understanding
of God’s Word through our exceptional
Christian education opportunities; and
Serve in our community as a beacon
of hope!
In service to Him,
Gregg Poppe

KIDS AT CROSS VIEW ARE ACTIVE IN SERVICE!
February was a busy month for Cross View kids in the area of
service. On Wednesday, February 3, Kidstitute students grades 3-6

OUTREACH AND MISSIONS
VEAP Food Drive,
LINC Missions
VEAP FOOD DRIVE 2/28-3/27
For more than 30 years Minnesota FoodShare has coordinated
a statewide March food and fund drive to restock more than 300
food shelves across the state. This is the largest annual food drive in
Minnesota. Cross View will be joining this Minnesota FoodShare
initiative with a food drive that runs from February 28 through
March 27. The proceeds of our food drive will benefit our mission
partner VEAP. For more information on how best to participate
(recommended items to purchase, plus cash donations) see the
poster in the Lobby by the shopping cart.
LINC URBAN MISSIONS BEAR FRUIT
This month DCO Kurtis Smith and Rev. Dr. Fungchatou Lo,
our LINC Twin Cities mission team, are ramping up toward the
start of LINC’s next Harvest Incubator for Mission (HIM) cohort.
HIM is a year-long process of discipling disciple-makers in diverse
communities. Kurtis and Fung are seeking twelve people who feel
called into God’s local mission to reach multiethnic communities
for Jesus but who aren’t sure what to do next. They are ready to help
those people with their challenges through bi-weekly gatherings
and transformissional coaching in-between those gatherings.
LINC’s first cohort is bearing fruit in their discipleship efforts
among African immigrants, Hmong immigrants, Saudi Arabian
students, wealthy people, poor people, suburban families and
urban singles.
If you are interested to join the next HIM cohort and be
discipled in becoming a better disciple-maker in your
diverse community, you may find more information at
www.linctwincities.org or contact DCO Kurtis Smith at 763-6073931, [email protected].
One story of relational fruit is about a man we’ll call for
safety reasons, “Sam.” Sam is a Moroccan Muslim who is reading
the New Testament and comparing it with the Quran. He and
Kurtis met each other in South Minneapolis and now have regular
spiritual conversations about God. “Sam” is concerned that the
Bible conflicts with the Quran and wonders about Christians who
don’t live moral lives. Kurtis is sharing with “Sam” about Biblical
authority and about the perfectly moral Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. Please pray for “Sam” and Kurtis. God knows “Sam’s”
real name.
Some prayers that Kurtis is asking people to lift up are:
1. Pray for the financial sustenance of our staff members and
ministry at LINC.
2. Pray for our kids to do well in our urban, multicultural
neighborhood life.
3. Pray for our interactions with neighbors from a variety of
non-Christian backgrounds and cultures.
4. Pray for all people in diverse neighborhoods to find dignity,
justice, love and hope in Jesus.

Fiesta Fantástico!
On February 14, Cross View Adult Ministries hosted a Fiesta
dinner party. For this event, a transformed Fellowship Hall became
a Mexican Café trimmed in festive paper garlands and warmed
by bright flowers and candlelight. An energetic salsa trio of
musicians serenaded guests with music during the appetizer hour.
(Some guests were seen moving and mingling to the salsa beat!)
Over 65 people attended. The event provided a great time for
fellowship and an opportunity to get to know others in our Cross
View community. Dinner included Mexican salads, enchiladas
and fajitas catered by the Sunderlands, and topped off with fabulous
chocolate desserts and caramel flan.

CROSSWAYS INTERNATIONAL CALLING
Teaching the Bible’s Big Story through
Crossways International Materials
The fact that the staff of Cross View is teaching my major
course, Crossways®, to adults and using The Divine Drama® to
teach confirmation students gives me great joy. These days, more
and more biblical scholars around the world are stating that it is
most important that people be taught the Bible’s Big Story and
the themes that surface within it. Both courses do just that. The
more that people understand the whole narrative of the Bible, the
better they understand “the Jesus story.”
Crossways® is also being taught (four classes each week) at
Normandale Lutheran Church in Edina. Almost 200 people
signed up for the course. A few weeks ago, Pastor Paul Emmel
(a member of Cross View) shared with me a page from another
congregation’s monthly newsletter. It consists of an article by a lady
who is participating in the course. She shares some encouraging
insights. Among other things, she wrote:
“Most people who complete Crossways go on to take the
course again and again. I plan to do so and suspect that Crossways
will even be offered in heaven! My involvement in studying
Crossways moved me to design and sew a quilt depicting the
illustration that uses eight frames with colorful symbols to
reinforce the learning and understanding of God’s divine plan.
As I sketched and then carefully sewed the appliques to the eight
panels and then pierced all the fabric, I experienced the grand
sweep of our story with God and His Son. It was a joy to put this
quilt together and the quilt reminds me of how carefully God put
each of us together.” The quilt measures about six feet by three
feet and is on display in a prominent place within her church’s
narthex, with explanations of the images in each section.
