Building Lifetime Memories
By Jan Stockman, Director, ECC
Do you remember the fun of playing in the snow? I grew up on the West
Coast where we hardly ever had snow. I remember so looking forward to a snow
day with 1 or 2 inches of snow. One year we got 6 inches, which was awesome.
We had several days off from school. The whole family went out to play in the
snow. We even “built” a small snow hill for sledding. What a great time we
had; it was a memory that has stuck with me.
In our Early Childhood Center, we have many memories.

CROSS VIEW YOUTH
‘Jesus’ Perfect’ Christmas Party Recap,
Upcoming Youth Events
JESUS’ PERFECT CHRISTMAS
This year, the 2nd annual Christmas party was a bit different;
our theme was Jesus’ Perfect Christmas which was a parody off of
Dude Perfect. To give you a better understanding, here is how the
group Dude Perfect explain themselves:
“‘If I make this shot, you owe me lunch’ …Swish
A free sandwich, a simple camera, and 20 “I can do better than
you” shots later, Dude Perfect was born. Obviously when that first
ball swished, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into,
but we believe that nothing happens by accident, that God’s given
us this platform for a reason, and that we have an opportunity
to make an impact on the lives of countless others all around
the globe. Above all else, our ultimate goal is to glorify Jesus Christ
in everything that we do. We want to use this platform for
something much bigger than us.” (http://dudeperfect.com/about/)
The Dude Perfect guys are famous for their trick shot and
competition videos. They have millions of views and followers on
Youtube and have met many celebrities through the process, but
they do it all very simply and don’t need a lot of fancy gimmicks.
That idea fit perfectly with the very first Christmas. Jesus came
and didn’t need a palace or special clothes in order to accomplish
His mission of redeeming the world. It was a simple stable manger
with simple people and animals. He came, He experienced, and He
redeemed. It really was Jesus’ perfect Christmas.
During Sunday night youth group we have started our Inside
Out series. We are watching parts of the movie Inside Out and
discussing how big events and emotions shape our lives. It is a joy
to see the relationship that are forming during the time we have
on Sunday nights together and also through the discussion and
activities that we do.
YOUTH CALENDAR DATES:
Sunday, February 7, 12:00 Noon - Youth MAT meeting
Sunday, February 7 - Giant Dish (Super Bowl) Party

We, the Cross View Staff, sincerely thank the members and friends of Cross View
Lutheran Church for your Christmas gift this past December. Each of us appreciates
your encouragement and support, and is blessed to be able to be in ministry with you
here at Cross View, in our community and in our world.
Small Groups — Join One!
Over 150 people of Cross View are involved in a small group some time each month for
fellowship and Bible study. Is this something you would like to be a part of ? Contact
small group coordinator Ali Swiggum ([email protected]) or Vicar Toby Schmidt
([email protected]), for more information on how to join or form a group!
Small Group Testimony
“Good morning!” “How are you?” “It’s
sure cold out!”
We’ve all exchanged these pleasantries
as we hurriedly entered church for worship
or rushed off to the next event of the day.
But as you’ve sat in worship or passed
someone in the narthex, have you ever
thought to yourself, “I wonder if that
person is a new member” or “I’ve passed
by that person a million times, and I barely
know his/her name”.
As long-time members, we still feel
that way about many of our brothers and
sisters in Christ at Cross View. One thing
we did to start changing that feeling was to
participate in small group ministry which
re-launched as part of the Congregation’s
2011 Lenten study of A Purpose-Driven
Life. At that time, we were some of many
that were asked to be small group leaders.
Members could sign up for a small group
and in some cases, leaders recruited people
to fill out their small group; it was all
quite random. At the conclusion of that
six-week series, our small group elected to
continue meeting, as we felt like we were
just starting to get to know each other on a
much deeper level.
We have been blessed to still be
meeting with our small group today and
have been amazed at how God has been
working through us and with us as we
have studied his Word and experienced
the highs and lows of Christian living.
At the end of each study, we pull out our
prayer journal, get updates on the things
we have been praying about and add new
items as they come up. We have laughed,
we have cried and we always thank God
for His infinite goodness and for bringing
us together to support each other through
child-rearing
concerns,
relationship
issues, surgeries, aging parent worries, job
loss, passing of loved ones, graduations,
birthdays, new jobs, marriages, healing,
vacations and everything else under the
sun. We have also encouraged each other
to participate in Cross View service events
as well as to serve each other.
As we think back to the beginning of
our small group, we realize that we started
off as a random group of people who barely
knew each other and have grown to be the
brothers and sisters in Christ that we so
often hear about in the Bible. We praise
God for the love, joy and support of our
small group!

Tactus Sings at
Cross View
Feb. 6 & 7
Tactus, a 9-member acapella choral
ensemble from Concordia College,
Moorhead, MN will perform a concert of
sacred music on Saturday, February 6, 7:00
PM at Cross View. This concert is free
and open to the public. Tactus will also
perform selected pieces in morning worship
on Sunday, February 7, 8:15 AM.
Tactus was formed in December
2011 and has since become a catalyst for
creativity in the world of small ensembles at
Concordia College. In its short existence,
Tactus has premiered over 15 new works by
young composers from near and far, and led
the way in the development of new music
from young Minnesota composers, as well
as composers as near as Colorado and as far
as Austria. Tactus is a completely studentled group that rehearses twice a week to
prepare an annual Christmas program, as
well as touring and other various concerts
and festivals throughout the year. Travelling
to churches and performing in worship
services has become a favored part of the
membership in Tactus, including regular
appearances at Concordia College’s daily
chapel services. Cross View member Sarah
Waller is a singer in this ensemble.

Paul Emmel Celebrates 50 years in Ministry!
Paul Emmel is one of Cross View’s newer members.
He joined our congregation in 2014. Paul is a retired
pastor in the Missouri Synod. This year he celebrates
fifty years of ministry! Paul was ordained in 1965 at
Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. From 1965-1970, Paul
served as the pastor of a new mission start in Stayton,
Oregon. From 1970 to 1999, Paul served as a correctional
chaplain for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections.
In 2000, Paul began a new chapter in ministry. For eight
years, he served as a hospital chaplain and a community
counselor at various agencies in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
As a retired pastor, Paul continues to serve the Lord
and His people. Most recently, Paul helped to establish
the Minnesota South District’s “Pastors to Prisoners”
ministry. He is currently engaging in visitation at
Faribault Correctional Facility. We thank the Lord for Paul and for his ministry over
these past fifty years and the many lives that have been impacted with the Gospel of Jesus
Christ through him. When you see Paul, make sure to congratulate him on this marvelous
ministry milestone.

CROSSWAYS INTERNATIONAL CALLING
Teaching Inmates about God’s Good News
Using Crossways International Materials
As you may know, CI’s materials have been used in many
prisons in the United States. For example, the president of
American Rehabilitation Ministries (ARM), based in Joplin,
Missouri, has taught CI’s See Through the Scriptures® to many
thousands of inmates in about 150 correctional institutions
across the United States. Furthermore, his daughter, Stephanie,
directs an organization that focuses on rescuing girls trapped in
the prostitution industry in a number of countries. To date, the
organization has built five rescue homes for these girls—two in
Cambodia, one in Thailand, one in Myanmar, and one in Haiti.
ARM is now planning to attach some of CI’s key teaching posters
to the inner walls of these structures and teach their message.
A prison inmate who has been taught some of CI’s courses
has written a number of letters to me during recent years, telling
me how CI’s materials have impacted his life and how he is using
them to teach fellow inmates God’s Good News. When we opened
his most recent letter, we were astonished to find that it contained
a contribution. Amazing! We thank God for the freedom in Christ
he is experiencing within prisons walls and for the message that he
is sharing with fellow inmates.
