Weekend Update

• had a fun, busy, different week last week in Ga at Jeanine's parent's house...but it was great seeing family!

• got back in town on Friday evening...ready to gear up for the weekend!                               
• Saturday, the normal putting the signs out and finishing details on message prep, printing, details, etc...
• finally bought a projector (we have been borrowing one for the first three months!) and also purchased some other items for the weekend and long-term help with setting up each week
• Sunday dawned beautifully...was it an amazingly beautiful weekend or what? Ok, so it was hot...it's the middle of May!
• compared to the previous week, set-up and tear down went much better...what a difference having the whole team makes!
• every Sunday at 10am, we have a short meeting to make sure we are ready and to pray for the day...this time, we circled in prayer and prayed for our service, Oasis Kidz, the theater managers and staff...it's awesome knowing that God is in charge!
• one thing we try to close with at the 10am meeting each week... we get to do this!
• Decent group in the main service and Oasis Kidz...great to see people returning on a regular basis...and beginning to become Oasis Church...
• Justin led worship with the team...awesome!
• Don Haneline led our welcome and annoucements...his first time doing this at Oasis! He did great!! Were you nervous Don??
• Continued our "The Money You Could Be..." series by looking at the topic of giving...
• what a privilege to share the truth from God's Word and how He says that the tithe (10%) is the beginning of our obedience in giving
• actually, God says that the tithe is His...so all we are to do it RETURN it!
• Really pumped at the people who said thanks for teaching the truth about giving...wow!!!
• Even more excited at the people who agreed to take the tithe challenge over the next three months...they are stepping out in faith and applying the Word of God...awesome!
• Way beyond pumped that people would give their lives to Jesus after a giving message...but that's exactly what God did yesterday...WE GET TO BE A PART OF THIS!! WOOHOO!!
• afterwards, tore everything down and got to hang out with one of our attenders and do a little fishing at our lake...what a great way to unwind and begin to build some stronger connections...
• do you like to fish? Just wondering...
• caught a couple of fish and enjoyed the sun before the rain moved in...how long is it gonna stay??
• Ok, lots of resources coming this week...have a good one!
