The countdown is on! It's almost time for GO Cincinnati 2009 at Crossroads. Each year, an army of volunteers impact Cincinnati through various service projects in a one-day, citywide blitz of compassion. It's craaaaazy fun and craaaaazy great. Working alongside other churches, we love on hundreds of community-based organizations throughout our city.
Last year, over 4,000 people from Crossroads and other partner churches went out into the city to serve the homeless, pray with the broken, paint schools, clean camps and help make a difference in our city. This spring we're tackling over 200 projects and we need your help. That's right - this year, we need 5,000 people.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 16th from 9:00 - 1:00. You can watch a short video here (scroll down) recapping last year's GO Cincinnati - and yes, that's Brad Johansen that you see - the radio voice for the Bengals. He's wild. He's crazy. Every year he gets all hyped up and geared up and crazied up to make a difference in our city. It's an amazing experience, to say the least. I haven't met a single person who doesn't feel blessed to be loving on people who are less fortunate. It grows you. It sticks with you.
You can sign up here - I'll be there with my kiddos - along with 5,000 other people that want to GO be the CHURCH. See you there!
You don't have to go to Crossroads. You don't have to be handy. You don't have to be a rock star painter. You don't even have to love Jesus. You just have to want to be a blessing to somebody else. Easy peasy. :)
