If you take a ferry from Dover to Calais, then "The Crossing" takes about 45 minutes. And if you go…read moreback again, then you're double-crossing somebody. Not sure who, but they're probably French. What I love about this church is the massive cross they have put on the highway which everybody can see going by. It's a real landmark and it's very cool. Anything like that, which gives a city character, and memorable iconic images, can only be a good thing. What I don't love about this church is that the design of the actual church is pretty nondescript and modern industrial (boring). However, the crosses earn the 3 stars.

I find the people sweet kind and loving people but I am concerned with the message and the way they convey Gods message. You have Block buster Sunday where this pass Sunday you based your message on Andy and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. While I realize your intentions were good they were missing the true teachings of God. Sunday is the Lords day. A day to honor and worship to God. It's his holy day. I felt that God was not fully honored. This way Of teaching may be ok for children ages 3 to 8 but not on a Sunday. Maybe on a Wed. Nite service. Also you had brite flashing lights like on a Broadway musical And dancers up on stage and one lady(last week) dressed in a very small outfit that had sequins and was not appropriate in showing God honor. The flashing lights From what I ve read in previous reviews cause people with health issues to have seizures. And I can testify that the music While I too love loud music this made my chest vibrate. Please know I know many of Your members and I love them as well as all of you and I ve been in much prayer about this and asked God to guide in my words not to offend but only to advise. I just felt God was not honored or put first.
