We will be truly blessed this Christmas with six grandchildren under the age of five years old. We look forward to the excitement, as cousins get together and view all the gifts under the tree for each of them to unwrap. I imagine wrapping paper flying through the air, screams of joy and parents prompting the appropriate “Say, Thank-you”. Toy trucks and princess dolls will be the topic of discussion throughout the day.
I see the same excitement in the eyes of those who have toured the Village of Hope in Tustin and then reviewed plans for the work at the Corona Norco Rescue Mission. It’s going to be a lot of work, but so is Christmas. Both celebrate the Birth of our Savior and rejoice in His redemption of the lost. People are talking about all the gifts they can bring to the project and how it will bring joy to the hearts of all of those involved.
Unlike Christmas that is over in a day and to quote my granddaughter who at the end of last Christmas showed a pouty face and said “Now we have to wait a whole year till Santa comes again!” Corona Norco Rescue Mission will continue to bring a gift of joy to the community throughout the year.
Come join the celebration. This Saturday will be the last scheduled tour of the Village of Hope in Tustin. The following Saturday, August 7th ,will be the Pancake Breakfast at the Corona Norco Rescue Mission. See you there.

Many of you have asked about the upcoming changes to the existing Corona Norco Rescue Mission. Please plan to attend the Pancake Breakfast August 7th at the Corona Norco Rescue Mission (God’s Kitchen). This will be an opportunity to review the plans, connect with other workers and contractors and talk “vision” for this facility. See “Coming Events”.
Looking at my notes would tell me that I started on the shelter project about the beginning of April. Now that July is upon us, it has just been a blur of meetings and introductions to different people. I have enjoyed the process greatly. Many times we wonder what kind of commitments we will experience when we say “Yes” to God’s call!
A few years ago I was considering another one of those church projects that was going to take some time to accomplish. I was trying to follow my own advice to other guys by doing my homework first, in other words to ask my wife for her opinion before I said “Yes”. I had all of my pros and cons rehearsed about how this would be a great project for the Lord, our church and our family. Her words of wisdom have always rung true with every project since then “God will always ask more of you than you prepared to give.” It is the difference between giving a gift and being a sacrifice.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship” Romans12;1
The amazing things that you will see change in the months to come, will not just be the building at 420 Harrison, but the changes to each of us. As we go beyond giving and into sacrifice, we will all experience a worship that will be a sweet song to the Lord. There will be a bond that we did something good for someone else that we didn’t even know. We gave someone the opportunity to get a second chance at a productive life. Most of all, we will see a change in our relationship with each other and in our relationship with God.

Wow it’s been an amazing response to participate. There are a lot of things happening, so I will try to make sure everyone is going the right direction.
We plan to start construction work in September, most of the work to be accomplished on Friday and Saturdays. Because the facility will be occupied during the remodel, we plan to close down the facility by sections, East Dorms and Bathrooms, West Dorms and Bathrooms, Dining room, Kitchen, Exterior.
We are looking to establish leaders and participants in each group listed below. If you are interested in leading or participating, contact me @ Todd@CrossroadsChurch.com.
