This past weekend was a special time for me. I got to share the platform with our youngest son Corey who shared his burden to help save those who are dying of dirty water. You can catch his testimony on our video podcast on weds at www.visitoasis.org on the message page. Its on our Sermon at the end.
along with a great weekend I also got several different notes today. Both show the constant Challenge we've had as a growing church for 18 years without enough space and land on our Pines Campus. It has always been a challenge, but we decided years ago not the let the lack of space limit us and the Mission God has given us. So once again today, I received a plea from our Kids World Director Suzie McCord that our Kids Worlds classes are full at our 10:30 service on Sunday in Pines. So once again we are asking our folks to consider another morning service or one of our 7 Nights of Worship. I love these kinds of problems or should I say opportunities that we constantly have. Our Ministry of Kids World is turning children away each week at 10:30 because the classes are full. We cannot sacrifice safety by putting more children in the room than is allowed. So parents of nursery, preschool and elementary at 10:30 please consider coming at the 9:00 am service or noon service, or one of the nights. Noon service is almost full in the adult service as you'll see in the pic below I received tonight, but we still have room in the Kids World during this time. So noon for now is still a good time to come. And you aren't as rushed to get up and get the family here. You can take it a little more casually Sunday mornings.
Tonight I just received the pic below from one of our pastors. The noon service is beginning to look like our 1030 service. I remember a couple years ago when we started this service I wondered if anyone would attend at noon. I had hoped a 100 would . Well now the building is almost full each week. Thanks Oasis for being willing to always adjust to whatever it takes to make room for those who are not yet here.
I also want to update you on my financial talk last week. You have responded incredibly. Last week our offerings were up at least $5,000 over the previous week. This week it looks like it will once again be up between $4-5,000 . Thanks to those who have stepped up and given to allow us to continue to do the ministry we are called to here. He is incredible how He just continues to bless even in these difficult times in South Florida. I also want to thank those who are giving over and above to the benevolence needs of those hurting.
