YES YES YES!!! This was long overdue, but RIPE for the season. RVA’s newest AO, The Crossing, kicked off tonight with a bang as 15 PAX converged on the grounds of West End Assembly of God (WEAG) that sits off Parham Road just north of the river. Yes, some SOJ studs invaded WestHo turf, but who knows, maybe the OG West Enders will come out sometime and like it! Either way, there are a LOT of brothers in our church community that are prime for headlockin’. Here’s how we introduced tonight’s new guys to F3:
The THANG:
WARMERAMA:
- Mosey down to the lower parking lot for parking space tracers, then moseyrama back up to the shovel flag and circle up

- TRIPLE CHECK
- P1 – Dips

COP #2:
- CHAPLAIN handed the Q

- DTH receives the Q back
COP #3:
- Move around the back of the church and find a wide stretch of brick for a bit of WALL WORK
- Hoedowns x10 IC
- Donkey Kicks x20 IC
- …maybe one other thing?
COP #4:

- Namerama
- Announcerama (see Below)
- YHC took the PAX out in Prayer
NMS: Chaplain and YHC have experimented a couple different times in the past hosting an OTB workout at our church, but nothing stuck. Now this season in particular has primed The Crossing perfectly for a successful launch. We’ve had brother PAX at WEAG for years (Don Draper, Roger Roger, Seadoo, Fresh Prince, Floppy Disc, etc), but some new (and very active) additions in Broadway, House Party, and Meatball have really strengthened our WEAG presence. Also, without another PM bootcamp in all of RVA, the church location is fairly central for many PAX in F3RVA who’d like a solid midweek after work option. All that said, we had great numbers for our kickoff and expect to grow quickly as a number of HC’s were ultimately unable to come tonight but plan to make it out soon. Praising Jesus for the opportunity to bring the F3 brotherhood to our church community, and SO SO SO thankful for Chaplain and the others standing with YHC to get it going. We are taking NEW GROUND! Chaplain has the Q next week so come on out! Yours, DTH
