Just today I received the final wrap-up of the 2010 Tenth Anniversary Car Cruise season here at North Way.
It's impossible for me to begin to capture the good will and the emotional value of this Cruise as a "community gift", as Pastor Scott Stevens once called it.
Scores, if not hundreds, of people commented to me this year on how much the Cruise meant to them and their families as a place to go and enjoy an evening together feeling safe, secure and surrounded by people who were having a good time!
But more than that, people also gave this year through sponsorships and donations. In fact, the Car Cruise more than paid for itself and will allow us to give a little to some special needs that are around us and have some left in reserve to start next year in the black!
The Car Cruise is widely misunderstood by many people. It's not about the cars; and I want to say that again. It's not about the cars. It's about the wonderful people that you meet, get to know and build a bond with over the course of months and years.
Long after the Car Cruise ends, people will remember this era in the life of North Way and the gift that this weekly gathering has been to build friendships, plant seeds of trust and understanding and encourage the search for faith in the life of thousands throughout our city!
Blessings from the Car Cruise Pastor,
Dr. Jay
