Dear Extended Oasis Family, I have just received great news and I am so stoked to share it with you. We have just finalized the last details on the usage of Hollywood Beach and the Bandshell in order to have a Beach Baptism and Concert on Easter Sunday Evening, April 8th. This is one of the most exciting things I think we have done at Easter in all our 20 year History. This will be the first Easter Baptism we have ever had and to do it at the Beach and have a Concert by our Worship Bands and Teams is even greater. I am so excited I can't even stand it right now. This is going to be great. This will top off a great Easter Weekend. Plan to attend the Baptism at 6 p.m. and the Concert at 7 p.m. on the Holllywood Beach Broadwalk. More details to follow. (You can mark your connection card this weekend if you or a family member plan to be Baptized for this historic event.) This weekend you will see all our Easter Service Times in the bulletin. Make sure you mark them down and begin to invite your friends and family. If you invite them, they will come. If they come they will experience great Worship, friendly people and a life changing message. Start asking them now. We will offer our regular services along with, Maundy Thursday at 7 p.m., Good Friday at 7 p.m. and Easter Eve 6 p.m. I can't wait!!!!!!!! Leading up to Easter we will have an Easter Blitz! This will be Monday night March 26th, from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the church. We will have a FREE meal, then have a goal of calling 2,000 families on our church roll to invite them to Easter. We will blitz many who do not normally come on one night. Bring your Cell Phone, and we will provide the food, a short script of the info you will share and a great time. This will be so neat to have the auditorium full of people around tables calling our church roll all at once. If you have never done anything like this, you've gotta come - it will be fun. KidsWorld will provide classes up through 5th grade for those participating. 
"Worst Week" - This weekend we launch a new message series where we will study some people in the Bible who had some really, really bad weeks and how they survived them. Everyone is going to have one of those weeks! Those weeks you would never choose and that you will never forget. If you haven't had "One of those Weeks" you will someday, so you should come. It's going to be a great series. You will be encouraged, inspired and challenged in a way that can be life changing. It's another one of those series you will want to invite someone to if they have had "one of those weeks". "Discover Oasis" is a free luncheon for those who want to find out more about our church. Our pastoral team will join me in sharing our history, our beliefs, values and various ministries. You will learn more in an hour about Oasis Church than you would learn in years just sitting in a service. It's fast paced and full of information. If you desire to become more involved, or you might be thinking of becoming a member, this luncheon is a must for you. You will have all the info you need. Then it's your choice to decide. It's this Sunday at 1:30 following our Noon Service in the Auditorium. Children will be cared for through 5th grade. See you there. Haiti Spring Mission Trip wraps up this Friday. Our team of 24 has been working hard in Haiti with one of our partners there this week. Pray for a safe return on Friday. Can't wait to hear their stories. I can't wait to go back. We have a Medical Trip going in May, (watch for details) and hopefully take at least one more trip in the Summer. Thanks to Pastor Brown and Oasis'ers for your love and sacrifice for those in Haiti. You took your spring break to minister to those you don't know. How cool. I hear there have been Haitians who our group have led to the Lord this week. Love it! Soooooooooo much I want to share. But gotta stop since you are tired of reading. I'll share more Sunday and next week. God bless and thank you for being such a wonderful part of Oasis Church and what God is doing here in Pembroke Pines and around the world. Guy Melton P.S. In case you haven't heard we now have an Oasis Giving Kiosk set up in the Community Cafe, next to the Kona Cafe. It's easy and secure. If you choose to give when you come to church or forget your tithes and or check book. BUT DID YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ALSO SIGN UP FOR A COMMUNITY GROUP THERE AND SIGN UP TO JOIN ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEER TEAMS?
