Dilly dallying with the fam-

the church family, that is, particularly this Sunday afternoontide past during which we hosted a monthly summer-emblazoned picnic in prayerful attempts to acquaint ourselves with the nifty neighborinos in the community in which God has strategically situated us as a local church. 'Twas a grace-driven foray in fellowship and outreach for God works so mightily in so many more ways than we are able to ascertain. I am all ajitter with excitement to see what God is doing and what he shall accomplish for His glory in the hearts of Angelenos in La La Land. And you can bet the sonshiny soiree was a bona fide blast!


Oh yeah, we've an arbitrary proclivity for party hardying together, too. Especially whence such a pastime warrants family portraits.And we ne'er object to shimmy shakin'through up and coming Silver Lake reminiscent hipster 'hood HelMelfor destination signature ice creamery shoppe, Scoops,for funky fresh and unorthodox yet mind-numbingly tasty gelato flavors, such as black sesame white chocolate, pistachio rosewater, salty chocolate, and mascarpone chocolate chip. God assuredly plops people in our lives for particular reasons. Thank you so very much, Lord, for the absolutely amazing church family, who, though we are each a distinct individual hailed from diversified walks of life, are gladly committed to one another's surpassing joy in the Lord, and united to Christ and the saving grace of the gospel for the joy of all peoples (especially in the City of Angels). Thank you for the overwhelming bushels of love you've bestowed upon me through their consistent encouragement and edification as they partake in my blessings and burdens that you nimbly orchestrate for my good in you. Thank you for your mercy anew through Christ's work on the cross in spite of my manifold shortcomings. There is none like you, and I yearn to find completely brazen satisfaction in you alone. Help me to love you above all things and serve and lovelovelove others with a heart like yours alongside the CrossView fam so they might see you for the ultimate treasure you are.
