Crazy awesome Sunday…and I missed it. We are officially back at the movie theatre and our people are pumped. Here is the set: Calling All Angels (Train) Awesome is The Lord (Tomlin) To The King (Goodwin version of Nicholas Baty tune) Amazing Grace (Goodwin Version of classic...
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 that those who live north of town who checked out on us for a while because of distance will come...
Great students, authentic worship, lives changed, amazing conversations…two great weeks in a row and can’t wait until next week with Ergun Caner. Thanks to all you guys who made the week so memorable. We didn’t really like getting beat in dodgeball or volleyball, but it was worth the loss to...
