Saying Goodbye to Oak Leaf :(
for the last year I have worked full-time with some of the most gifted and inspiring people I have ever known. The friends and “family” I have made being on staff at a church far surpasses my experiences on staff at a school and traveling around play in all sorts...
Supermodel – Model Parent
There are 10,000 gumballs at the OLC office if any body is looking for a fix to there sweet tooth. And if you don’t understand why, you should have been at church. Does anybody read this who does not go to church? I’m actually curious. Does anybody read this anyway....
Supermodel – Model Church
Don’t you love the fact I forget to post and then go back and post posts as if they were written when the post should have been written? I’m sure that habit makes real bloggers the web over cringe. Anyway, great start to the new series and i’m excited about...
Fountain of Truth: Judiasm
We had a guest speaker today and she was phenomenal. Who beter to speak about Judiasm than a converted Jew. You wouldn’t have thought it was going to be as moving as it was meeting her and listening to her speak, but man did she knock it out of the...

Prayer Guide Day 5 – Mitch Moyer
My prayer for Oak Leaf Church’s opening Sunday at the Movie Theater is as follows:
Pray that droves of new people will check it out for the first time.

Pray...
Prayer Guide Day 4 – Me
We have made the word "worship" synonymous with the music we sing on Sunday morning and forgotten it is a lifestyle and a mindset that extends far beyond the boundaries of a one hour experience on Sunday mornings. If we really want to see people taken from where they are...
