Last night, I once again made that half hour trek to Canton in anticipation of attending the Grace Crossing Samson Society meeting. I did so, having been prompted by Mr. Aaron Porter early last week, in light of his weeklong visit to "Samson Mississippi" (please note my previous post therein). Therefore, just a few minutes post arrival at this beautiful suburban church, The Man arrived, and from there, we made our way towards the rear of the church campus excitedly.
Grace Crossing has expanded considerably since my last visit, having added a sizable children's ministry wing. I was able to recall that they were just beginning to interview architects for this addition around the time of my last visit. Nonetheless, whomever designed it, I was impressed with how seamlessly it complements the initial build.

Mr. Joe McCalman (Grace Crossing Samson meeting facilitator) is a NOLA native. As such, he's passionate all around, but especially so regarding Grace Crossing church, his family and recovery in general. Samson Society is so fortunate to have Joe align with all our values, as his passion represents our community very, very well. I liken it to Mr. Justin Schwind's passion (for those of you that know Justin) just in a more Cajun-style package!
And speaking of Cajun-style, one can't mention this in-person Samson meeting without emphasizing the importance of the after-meeting (typically a restaurant in Madison). Mr. Joe McCalman is a foodie (both personally & vocationally), and man oh man, does this group ever eat well.
-------------------------
What I love the most about this meeting is how laid back it is in light of its calendared position. There's just something easy about starting one's week off with a Samson meeting, and Sunday at 6 PM qualifies therein.
Be encouraged, my friends, to give this longstanding (since '15 or '16) in-person Samson Society meeting a shot. You'll be glad you did.
