There are many incredible aspects of being a follower of Christ. First, and foremost, is the hope we have in our salvation. In addition, we are never alone because God promises us that. In Christ, we have access to the power of Holy Spirit. In Christ, we have the knowledge that God’s Word is true and the greatest source of direction for our lives. In Christ, we have the assurance that when we are weak, He is strong.

And, in Christ, we never have to say goodbye. As Christians, we are bound together, in Christ. We can be hundreds of miles away from each other, and yet, in Christ, we are never really apart. We also know that one day, those who are in Christ, will be together in heaven, forever. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Crossroads Family for its unwavering support during these past nine years.

We have been through a lot, to say the least. I know I have made my share of mistakes and you have allowed me to do so with unbelievable grace and mercy. You have truly helped me to grow as a person and a pastor. I will always be grateful for that. Hopefully, we have done some good things together as well, trying to make a difference in this world and in God’s kingdom.

Thank you for loving Marti, Tyler, Katie and Jared, as well. We will always have a fond place in our hearts for Crossroads and Milwaukee. One of the greatest assets of being, in Christ, is the gift of prayer. Please know that you will continually be in our prayers and we covet yours as well. So this is not goodbye, but until we meet again… And remember…God is good, all the time!

With Love, Pastor Bruce
