This past weekend, our services ended with a very cool element. People were asked to write 5 names of people they were believing to meet Christ in 2009. As people were dismissed, they brought their card to the stage, where we nailed the cards to a 10′ cross. We used hammer staplers, which allowed us to move quickly but still simulated the sound of nails going into the cross. It was a powerful moment, and it is staggering to stand back and look at the thousands of people represented on the cross. We are now developing a prayer team that will pray over the names on the cross for the rest of the year. How cool is that?
