Church transitions
As many of you know, our worship pastor Mike Gleason is leaving Crossroads after 7 years of ministry. Mike's a great guy and gifted worship leader. I'm going to miss him. The nature of his leaving is private in nature. The letter I wrote to the Crossroads family simply asked everyone to trust the mutual decision that has been made by our Elders and Mike. That hasn't sat well with everyone.
I understand the desire to want to know details. We all want specifics. We all want to have all our "why's" answered. The point I'm making is that sometimes the "why" is personal. Sometimes details aren't shared for very good reasons. Staff/personnel matters at Crossroads are Elder Board responsibilities. Things like performance reviews and setting salaries are not public in nature.
As hard as it is, there are times we have to trust our leaders and trust that God's Spirit is leading us. This is one of those moments...thanks for your trust.

There is a lot to love about Mike Gleason. His humility. His passion. His obvious affection for wife and family. His kind and gentle spirit. The way he seeks to glorify God rather than himself through his music.
Pastor Mike - I am deeply troubled by your resignation, but I will respect your privacy and hold my tongue.
It's June and it's sunny and warm and lush and green, but somehow it feels like January again.
